To investigate the motion patterns and separation mechanisms of different magnetic particles in a permanent magnet roller separator during mineral processing, a magnetic force calculation model was established based on the magnetic field gradient and particle specific magnetic susceptibility. The magnetic field distribution of the permanent magnet roller system was simulated using ANSYS Maxwell. The obtained magnetic field vector data were then imported into the EDEM simulation environment via its field management interface. Subsequently, secondary development was performed using the C++ API to extend EDEM's capabilities for simulating particle behavior under magnetic forces. Simulation results indicate that the distribution density of magnetic particles in high-velocity zones is significantly higher than that of intergrowth particles and non-magnetic particles. As particle size increases from 15 mm to 60 mm, the average and the minimum roll-off speeds of the particles show an increasing trend, while the maximum roll-off speed exhibits the opposite behavior. When the magnetic roller speed increases from 10 r/min to 50 r/min, the trajectory spacing among magnetic particles, intergrowth particles, and non-magnetic particles all increase. At a speed of 30 r/min, particle separation performance is optimal. Experimental validation of the coupled simulation method demonstrates that it can realistically simulate the magnetic particle separation process. The research findings provide crucial theoretical foundations and technical support for optimizing such mineral processing technologies.
