What Does WHIMS Stand For?

WHIMS stands for Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separation

WHIMS, or Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separation, is a sophisticated mineral processing technology used to separate magnetic materials from non-magnetic ones in a slurry. This technique employs a strong magnetic field to enhance the separation efficiency, particularly in the recovery of fine and paramagnetic materials. WHIMS is widely utilized in various industries, including mining and recycling, to improve resource recovery and optimize material purity. Its effectiveness in handling challenging mineral compositions makes it a vital tool in modern mineral processing.
