Abstract

Bi-2223/Ag HTS wire provides a new opportunity to build an HTS magnet for use in a high separation efficiency, low operational cost, high gradient magnetic separator. A magnet has been designed using HTS wires and the results analyzed for use in this application. The magnet configuration consisted of 12 units and generated 3 T magnetic field. The capability of the Bi-2223/Ag HTS wire for this application was analyzed with consideration of its critical transport current density, conductor filling factor, and magnet field distribution.
