Mixture separations by magnetic separation

Principle

This student experiment includes a demonstration of the principle of magnetic separation. In order to demonstrate the technical separation of mixtures, iron filings are separated from sand. The student experiment demonstrates the importance of this method, which is also known as magnetic separation, for our everyday life, e.g. for waste separation.

Benefits

• Experiment guides are very easy to understand, especially for younger students
• Associated competences are directly linked to the experiments
• Curriculum compatible
• Fit for the future: implementation of tablets possible
