What is the process of separating a mixture using a magnet?

In laboratory, sometimes we need to purify a mixture or separate the mixture contents. There are physical and Chemical separation methods. The separation by magnet can be a physical way if you are talking about separating, say, iron from your cereals. read more

Magnetism is a form of separating mixtures which involves using a magnet to attract another magnetic object away from the substance it is in. Some examples of separating magnetic substances from non magnetic substances are: separating iron nails from glass chippings and separating iron paper clips from brass ones. read more

The separation by magnet can be a physical way if you are talking about separating, say, iron from your cereals. But it can be a chemical method if you are talking about separating ionized particles by charge difference (you put a mixture of positive and negative charged particles in a magnetic field, making them separate). read more

Separation of Components of Mixtures. Most materials found in nature are in the form of mixtures. In engineering, a separation process is used to transform a mixture into two or more distinct products. read more
