In the years following the publication of Magnetic Methods for the
Treatment of Minerals by Elsevier in 1987, many changes have taken
place in magnetic technology. While fundamental and thorough, the
above treatise re?ected pr- erences and philosophy of research and
the development and application of magnetic methods as they were
practiced in the second half of the last c- tury. Although demand
for metals and minerals has not diminished, the d- inant drivers of
the early 21st century di er signi?cantly from those of the late
20th. The priorities of nuclear power, defence, and
energy-demanding and waste-generating bene?ciation of mineral
resources are being replaced by those associated with technology
sustainability, environmental and knowledge m- agement, recycling,
and health care. Research priorities and product devel- ment of the
last century cannot, therefore, satisfactorily meet criteria of the
21st century. Considerable technological progress has been achieved
in areas such as - tomation, computerization, sustainable material
science, laboratory and plant practices and separation equipment.
New permanent magnetic materials, - vances in practical
applications of superconductivity and availability of soph- ticated
modelling tools have changed the technological landscape. As a
result, innovation and technology transfer in magnetic technology
have been rema- ably successful during the last two decades. The
title of this monograph re?ects the fact that the book covers not
only the application of magnetic techniques in the minerals
industry, but also in recycling, environmental engineering and
biomedical sciences.
