The trap device includes a body part including an inlet through which exhaust gas containing lost powder is introduced, an outlet through which the exhaust gas is discharged, and an interior space in communication with the inlet and the outlet and a trap part that is located in the interior space of the body part and that traps the lost powder contained in the exhaust gas by a magnetic force.

Provided is a micro-element recycling method and system. The method includes: collecting at least one micro-element failing in transfer; applying a first acting force to the micro-element in a first direction, and applying a second acting force to the micro-element in a second direction; moving the micro-element from an initial position to a target position by means of the combined action of the first acting force and the second acting force; and recycling the micro-element located at the target position.

An automatic analysis apparatus and an operating method for the automatic analysis apparatus. At least two magnetic separation units are introduced, each magnetic separation unit operating independently and being used for performing magnetic separation cleaning on a reaction solution in a reaction cup. Each magnetic separation unit may be used for any magnetic separation cleaning step in a one-step test project or a multi-step test project, thereby significantly increasing the test speed and the test throughput of the automatic analysis apparatus.

A magnetic separating apparatus and magnetic sorting method can precisely and efficiently separate magnetic and non-magnetic material with a simple structure. The apparatus includes a granular mixture supply portion that supplies a granular mixture so as to naturally fall; a rotating drum having a part of an outer surface located on a falling path of the granular mixture, the rotating drum being rotationally driven in an opposite direction relative to the falling direction of the granular mixture; a first magnet that imparts a magnetic attractive force to a certain area defined by rotation in the opposite direction with a sorting area as a starting point; a naturally falling area to which the granular mixture that has come into contact with the rotating drum naturally falls; and a conveyed falling area to which the granular mixture naturally falls after being magnetically attracted to and conveyed by the rotating drum.

A filter is used for removing metallic contaminants in a solvent used in microcircuit fabrication. The filter includes a filter housing including a filter membrane for filtering solvent including metallic contaminants, and a magnet arranged about the filter housing and configured to generate a magnetic field to attract the metallic contaminants prior to the metallic contaminants entering the filter membrane. The magnet is arranged such that the magnetic field of the magnet is greater in a periphery of the filter housing compared to a central portion of the filter housing.

The present disclosure describes a filtration device that includes a housing that includes a first tubular section connected to a second tubular section, wherein the first tubular section extends along a longitudinal axis and includes an open end that forms a fluid inlet of the housing, a closed end opposite the open end, and a connection opening positioned between the open and closed ends, and wherein the second tubular section includes a first open end connected to the connection opening of the first tubular section and a second open end that forms a fluid outlet of the housing; and a filter that is arranged inside of the first tubular section and that extends along the longitudinal axis of the first tubular section; wherein the filter includes an electromagnet configured to generate a magnetic field that surrounds at least the first tubular section and attracts metal contaminants in a fluid to the filter. A filter system is also described.

The invention provides an electrostatic precipitator, including: a gas inlet, supplied with gas containing dust that is a magnetic substance; a charging part, charging the dust; a collecting part, capturing the charged dust; a cleaning device, including at least one of a charging part cleaning device and a collecting part cleaning device; a magnet filter, provided downstream of the collecting part; an ozone removing filter, provided downstream of the magnet filter and removing ozone from the gas; and a gas outlet, discharging the gas in which the dust and the ozone are removed. In the magnet filter, multiple magnet plates are arranged at a predetermined interval. A downstream side of each magnet plate provided on an upper side with respect to a center is inclined downward. A downstream side of each magnet plate provided on a lower side with respect to the center is inclined upward.

A printer is described that comprises a print chamber and an electromagnet moveable within the print chamber. The electromagnet has an on state and an off state. The electromagnet is to collect magnetic powder within the print chamber when in the on state, and to deposit magnetic powder when in the off state.

A separation device that separates a mixture of magnetic bodies that are granular and non-magnetic bodies that is granular into the magnetic bodies and the non-magnetic bodies. The separation device includes a magnetic force separating mechanism, a wind force generation portion, a first wind force separating portion, and a second wind force separating portion. The magnetic force separating mechanism separates the mixture into first separated objects and second separated objects by attracting the magnetic bodies from the mixture of magnetic force. The first separated objects mainly contain the magnetic and non-magnetic bodies. The second separated objects mainly contain the non-magnetic bodies and magnetic bodies. The wind force generation portion generates wind force. The first wind force separates the first separated objects into the magnetic and non-magnetic bodies of wind force. The second wind force separates the second separated objects into the non-magnetic bodies and magnetic bodies of wind force.
