Magnetic separation is a process in which magnetically susceptible material is extracted from a mixture using a magnetic force. This separation technique can be useful in mining iron as it is attracted to a magnet. In mines where wolframite was mixed with cassiterite , such as South Crofty and East Pool mine in Cornwall or with bismuth such as at the Shepherd and Murphy mine in Moina, Tasmania , magnetic separation was used to separate the ores. At these mines a device called a Wetherill s Magnetic Separator invented by John Price Wetherill, 1844 1906 ref cite web url http explorepahistory.com hmarker.php?markerId 1040 title Historical Markers Samuel Wetherill publisher ExplorePAhistory.com accessdate 2009 08 03 ref was used. In this machine the raw ore, after calcination was fed onto a moving belt which passed underneath two pairs of electromagnet s under which further belts ran at right angles to the feed belt. The first pair of electromagnets was weakly magnetised and served to draw off any iron ore present. The second pair were strongly magnetised and attracted the wolframite, which is weakly magnetic. These machines were capable of treating 10 tons of ore a day. It is also used in electromagnetic cranes that separates magnetic material from scraps. ref cite book last Earl first Bryan title Cornish Mining The Techniques of Metal Mining in the West of England, Past and Present publisher Cornish Hillside Publications location St Austell edition 2nd page 97 date 1994 isbn 0 9519419 3 3 ref See also High intensity magnetic separator References Reflist low intensity magnetic separator External links http www.cogelme.com eng e magnetic separator overbelt overband.htm More information and videos about magnetic separator in Cogelme site http www.cogelme.com eng e magnetic separator.htm Magnetic separator overbelt overband on Cogelme site Category Industrial processes Category Separation processes Category Magnetic devices Category Magnetism Physics stub el ... more details
Cornish Solidarity Unvereth Kernewek in Cornish language Cornish is a Cornish people Cornish organisation founded in February 1998. It was founded by the then President of Redruth and District Chamber of Commerce, Mr Greg Woods, who having been disgusted at the press being notified of the demise of South Crofty Mine before the staff and workers of the mine, organised a go slow. The following day on the A30 he was joined by many people who agreed with him. Later that evening the news reported that this had been a show of Cornish Solidarity this was the name that the group then adopted. It is a cross party organisation that is fighting for Cornish Rights including the recognition of the ethnic Cornish as a national minority and for more Cornish autonomy in the form of a Cornish Assembly . It was formed as a pressure group after the closure of South Crofty , the last hard rock mine in Cornwall, in March 1998. It produces Cornwall First , a newsletter published every two months which is free to members. In a statement issued in 1998 it said Cornish Solidarity is a cross party organisation, made up of people from all walks of life, who firmly believe that our politicians have failed us. We are uniting for ourselves and more importantly for the future of our children. In 1998, in a protest organised by the organisation, hundreds of campaigners demanding help for Cornwall s economy staged a protest on the Tamar Bridge . A convoy of protesters, many waving black and white Cornish Saint Piran s Flag s from their vehicles, drove to the bridge, and used pennies to pay the 1 toll to enter Devon at Plymouth . ref http news.bbc.co.uk 1 hi uk 65538.stm BBC news March 1998 Cornish Solidarity protest ref They claimed that Cornwall was experiencing a youth drain, because young people had to leave the Duchy to get a university degree, and then stayed away because there were few jobs to go back to.
