Ultrasonic velocity profiling of flows related to wet low intensity magnetic separation

• The internal workings of wet Low Intensity Magnetic Separators (LIMS) are poorly understood. In this work an Ultrasonic Velocity Profiling (UVP) technique for measuring material flow speed at varying depth. A measurement depth of just a couple of centimetres will greatly improve our understanding of the separation process.When applied to flows of high density mineral suspensions, similar to those in wet LIMS, UVP is unique in combining:• Non-intrusive measurements.• A single transceiver element is sufficient.• Relatively good spatial resolution.• Penetrates opaque suspensions.• Fast sampling rate.Here, flows are studied in a simple rectangular geometry (50x75 mm), using dilute magnetite suspensions; measurement through the whole depth of 50 mm is made with good accuracy. Velocity profiles are presented for different sensors at solids concentrations of 5 vol% solids.
