Magnetite is the most magnetic mineral, and has been used as a lodestone or natural magnet in compasses in the past. As it is dense with a specific gravity of over five, it is used as a dense medium when mixed in mineral separation particularly in coal preparation. Importantly, magnetite is suitable for processing into iron ore
on gravity separation, the variation of settling velocities of different particles over time is shown in Fig. 3.2 [8]. Consequently, the very fine mineral particle that their movement is chiefly affected by surface friction cannot be effectively concentrated by conventional gravity methods. For overcoming this drawback, enhanced gravity
