An electromagnetic fluidized bed was proposed for the continuous separation of magnetic particles from the fine a admixtures with nonHmagnetic particles. The effects of operating variables on the magnetic fraction in the separated p particles were examined, including superficial gas velocity, mixing fraction of magnetic particles (= 100-mixing fraction of n non-magnetic particles) in the admixture, and electric current supplied to the electwmagnet. It was found that the s separation was possible when a magnetic force formed by the electromagnets works on the magnetic particles over the hydrodynamic force caused by a gas stream for fluidizing the fine admixture.
