The invention discloses a dry and wet type cyclic 
magnetic separation method. A dry type 
magnetic separation method comprises the steps of a, 
grinding ores; b, performing pre-screening; c, performing reducing 
roasting; d, feeding materials; e, performing 
magnetic separation through an upper magnetic separation 
barrel; f, enabling the upper magnetic separation 
barrel to rotate to clean a storehouse; g, performing magnetic separation through a lower magnetic separation 
barrel; h, enabling the lower magnetic separation barrel to rotate to clean the storehouse; i, performing cyclic reciprocating magnetic separation; and j, rotating to 
discharge slag. A wet type magnetic 
separation method comprises the steps of a, cleaning impurities; b, performing filtering and pre-screening; c, feeding materials; d, performing magnetic separation through an upper magnetic separation barrel; e, enabling the upper magnetic separation barrel to rotate to clean a storehouse; f, performing magnetic separation through a lower magnetic separation barrel; g, enabling the lower magnetic separation barrel to rotate to clean the storehouse; h, performing cyclic reciprocating magnetic separation; and i, rotating to 
discharge slag. The device adopts a unique double-barrel circulating structure; when the circulating structure rotates to different positions under the driving of a driving device, 
river sand or 
metal mortar can be cyclically separated between the two hollow barrels. The whole process of the method is automatically controlled by a circuit, so that the waste of human resources is reduced, and the problems that a 
separation method is complicated, a 
separation process is long and the like are solved.
