Conclusions
-
1.
The use of liquid metals as the separating medium in an MHD separator (MHDS) offers a new technical opportunity in the field of MHD separation.
-
2.
The cost of construction of MHDS with liquid metals is less by factors of tens than that of MHDS with electrolytes.
-
3.
The electrical energy consumption of MHDS with liquid metals and magnets is thousands of times lower than for MHDS with electrolytes.
