Removal of SiC Inclusions in Molten Aluminium
 using a 12 T Static Magnetic Field

·       The analysis of particles trajectories in a vertical cylindrical SC coil shows that the magnetization force acting on paramagnetic particles has predominantly axial component which aims upwards and opposite to the gravitational force.

·       This effect was utilized to realize a magnetic separator, the main advantage of which is the high effectivity of separation process.
