Abstract
In analogy with other methods of separation based on physical properties, magnetism can be used for separating materials which respond more strongly to a magnetic force from other materials which exhibit a less strong response. In any given separation it is customary to describe the two products as “magnetic” and “nonmagnetic” respectively. This is abitrary, because all materials, solids, liquids and gases, have definable magnetic properties. The success of a separation depends on the difference in magnetic response and the rate at which the separation may be carried out depends on the magnitude of the response of the “more magnetic” material.
