Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Processes for purification of saline minerals using magnetic separation are disclosed. In particular, saline minerals can include trona, borates, potash, sulfates, nitrates and chlorides. The magnetic separation can include high intensity magnetic separation which can be conducted at greater than about 20,000 Gauss and up to greater than about 50,000 Gauss. Other embodiments of the invention include calcination of a saline mineral in an inert atmosphere or in an oxygen-containing atmosphere at a high temperature prior to magnetic separation. A further embodiment of the invention includes pre-alignment of particles on a surface to align the particles of high magnetic force during a magnetic separation step. Also disclosed are various embodiments of magnetic separation which include subjecting an ore to a preliminary magnetic field prior to magnetic separation.
