Abstract: A method, process or system for producing an iron oxide concentrate from a treatment slurry of a low grade mineral assemblage includes mixing a flocculant with the treatment slurry and dewatering the treatment slurry before passing the treatment slurry through a wet high intensity magnetic separator of a type that employs a flux amplifying matrix (i.e., a WHIMS-FAM device) and recovering an iron oxide concentrate fraction and a tailings fraction from the WHIMS-FAM device. Another method, process or system for producing an iron oxide concentrate includes passing the treatment slurry through a WHIMS-FAM device and recovering an iron oxide concentrate fraction slurry and a tailings fraction slurry from the WHIMS-FAM device; mixing a flocculant with the concentrate fraction slurry and dewatering the concentrate slurry to provide a thickened concentrate slurry before filtering the thickened concentrate slurry to provide a concentrate filter cake.

Abstract: There are provided devices, systems and processes to treat slurries that include magnetic and nonmagnetic particles suspended in water in such a fashion as to separate certain valuable elements and/or minerals from less valuable minerals or elements. A high intensity magnetic separator includes at least one large rotatable turntable that defines at least one circular channel therethrough in which a matrix material is positioned. The turntable is configured to rotate in a generally horizontal plane about a generally vertical virtual axis, causing the at least one circular channel to rotate through a plurality of intermittent magnetic and nonmagnetic zones generated by a plurality of permanent magnet members. A treatment slurry is directed into the channel or channels in one or more of the magnetic zones as the turntable rotates. A tailings fraction passes through the channel or channels in a generally downward direction in the magnetic zones and is collected in tailings launders. Magnetic particles are attracted to the matrix material in the magnetic zones and remain in the channel until it passes into an adjacent nonmagnetic zone, where the magnetic particles are washed form the channel into concentrate launders.
