The invention relates to a method used for separating minerals from weak magnetic iron tails, which is divided into six stages: primary sorting of strong magnetic minerals, separation of strong magnetic minerals, separation of weak magnetic minerals, separation of non-magnetic minerals, treatment of ore pulp water during the ore dressing process and treatment of finish tail sand. According to the magnetic susceptibility differences, specific gravitydifferences and floating differeces between minerals, magnetite, vanadium titano-magnetite, mixed ore of apatite and xenotime and hematite feldspar concentrate can be separated from the weak magnetic iron by using techniques of crude separation with a strong magnetic separator, refine separation with a weak magnetic separator, gravity separation, floatation, electric separation, etc. The method has advantages of standard production technique, low cost for industrialized production, great variety of separated minerals, stable quality and high separating efficiency, thereby having significant social and economic benefits.
