Abstract
The application of centrifugal forces to a ferrofluid with finely grained particles located in a non—homogeneous magnetic field is the basis of the theoretical model of separation outlined in this paper. An analytical solution of the equation of the particle motion, its application under certain conditions, as well as the graphic representation of the results are presented.
