A laboratory, bench top, single boundary electromagnetic separator has
been used to separate the binary metal mixtures of Al/brass, Cu/brass
and Cu/Al, each It three different sizes. Perfect separation has been
achieved in eight out of the nine cases and almost perfect separation
in the ninth. The theory which models the operation of the separator
in the configuration employed is shown to provide very good prediction
s of the beam splitter and field setting requirements for a successful
separation.
