Abstract: Dry high gradient magnetic separation technology is a low-carbon green technology. It can be embedded in a power plant to remove coal pyrite with a high-efficiency magnetic separator and remarkable magnetic properties difference between coal pyrite and coal matrix. This study selected the microwave radiation method to improve the magnetic properties difference and carried out a desulfurization experiment with a self-developed high-gradient permanent magnetic separator using the tapered iron auxiliary magnetic pole. The results demonstrate that the pyrite content and specific magnetic susceptibility increase with the decrease in particle size. The desulfurization rate did not change significantly at 25 °C. The coal sample began to appear in the thermal reaction at 450 °C, and the pyrite can become a strong magnetic property pyrrhotite. The desulfurization rate can achieve 58.70 % at 700 °C, and is equivalent to the wet washing index, due to the supply of high magnetic field force. The dynamic characteristic response of magnetic particles becomes more obvious with short time adsorption, and the probability of carrying non-magnetic particles is reduced. This study demonstrates that the high-gradient magnetic separation technology of pulverized coal enhanced by microwave irradiation is feasible.
