Magnetic separation is the process of separating components of mixtures by using a magnet to attract magnetic substances. [1] The process that is used for magnetic separation separates non-magnetic substances from those which are magnetic.

The arsenic (As) cycle is the biogeochemical cycle of natural and anthropogenic exchanges of arsenic terms through the atmosphere, lithosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Although arsenic is naturally abundant in the Earth's crust, long-term exposure and high concentrations of arsenic can be detrimental to human health. [1] [2]
Arsenic is the 53rd most abundant element in the Earth's crust, comprising about 1.5 parts per million (0.00015%). [48] Typical background concentrations of arsenic do not exceed 3 ng/m 3 in the atmosphere; 100 mg/kg in soil; 400 μg/kg in vegetation; 10 μg/L in freshwater and 1.5 μg/L in seawater. [ 49 ]
Arsenic (33 As) has 32 known isotopes and at least 10 isomers. Only one of these isotopes, 75 As, is stable; as such, it is considered a monoisotopic element . The longest-lived radioisotope is 73 As with a half-life of 80 days.
Earth’s outer core is made up of mostly molten iron, a liquid metal. Unpredictable changes in the way it flows cause the magnetic field around the Earth to shift, which then causes the magnetic ...
Magnetic roasting involves controlled roasting of the ore to convert it into a magnetic form, thus enabling easy separation and processing in subsequent steps. For example, controlled reduction of haematite (non magnetic Fe 2 O 3 ) to magnetite (magnetic Fe 3 O 4 ).
A new study finds that honeybees forging across the U.S. ingest local pollutants, including arsenic and lead, which are detected in their honey. More than 260 samples were taken between 2020 and ...
