Electromagnetic Separation
we deal with a group of raw material rare-earth with critical technological & economical importance on advancing fundementally their beneficiation, recycling and application. Therefore, we are interested in the various multi-physics and multi-scale interaction of multiphase systems in varying gravitational level & electromagnetic field. Currently, we work on:
•Rare-earth magnetic separation & magnetic assisted solvent extraction
•Thermal switch & heat transfer in non-conventional magnetic cooling system
•Emulsion systems
