Abstract
Apparatus for separating particles such as minerals from a mixture including said particles. The apparatus includes means for generating a rotating magnetic field such as a rotating magnetic drum (71). The apparatus also includes means for exposing the mixture to the rotating magnetic field such that susceptible particles are caused to rotate, and means for exploiting the rotation imparted to the susceptible particles to separate the particles from the mixture. The means for exposing may include a conveyor belt (72) or the like for passing the mixture along a first path (70) relative to the rotating magnetic field. The means for exploiting may include a surface (74) for facilitating movement of the particles along a second path (A) other than the first path.
