Profile of the magnitude (modulus) of the quadrupolar magnetic field in Tesla (a) and its gradient in Tesla/m (b) for the closed type magnetic separator (top view) employed in the simulations. Note that the magnitude of gradient of the field intensity corresponds to ā‰ˆ30ā€‰T/m in most regions of the separator; however, inhomogeneities due to the quadrupolar nature of the field can be clearly seen.
