In the ceramic industry, magnetic separation is a simple and effective way to detect and remove minerals and fine iron that cause problems in ceramic production lines. Some of the raw materials used in ceramic production (silica sand, ball clay, kaolin, and feldspar) may contain hematite, chromite, iron-stained quartz, and mica minerals such as muscovite or biotite. In addition, free iron particles generated by the wear of machinery and equipment during the production process
