 abstract={The magnetic band separator is provided for the enrichment of strongly magnetic ores, as, for example, magnetite ore. The process of magnetic flocculation occurs under the influence of magnetic field. The forming particle aggregates (floes) contain non-magnetic particles in their structure which deteriorates the separation results. In the band separator the material is subjected to several remagnetizations on its separation path during which non-magnetic particles are being liberated from the floe volumes. The separation results depend on the characteristics of the separator magnetic system and magnetic properties of the raw material. Starting from the equations ofmagnetic field the author calculated the distribution of magnetic field and force in the band separator. On this basis he also determined the optimum pole pitch of the magnetic system which depends on particle sizes of the enriched raw material. Despite the magnetic force, also mechanical forces act upon particles. The balance of forces acting upon the particle enabled the value of separation magnetic susceptibility lo be calculated according to which the raw material is divided into magnetic and non-magnetic particles. Taking into account magnetic interactions between magnetite inclusions in the particle, the dependence of particle magnetic susceptibility on the volume content of magnetite was determined and, next, theoretical indexes of magnetite ore enrichment ability were calculated.},
