To provide a method and an apparatus which separate relatively various mixed materials with a relatively simple apparatus or operation.
The apparatus comprises a vessel 1 containing a magnetic ionic liquid 3, a magnetic field generating installation 2 arranged in the vicinity of the vessel, a charging hole to charge the mixed materials to be separated, different in specific gravity from the magnetic ionic liquid into the magnetic ionic liquid in the vessel, and an outlet picking up at least one kind of the separated mixed materials. By using the apparatus, the mixed materials to be separated is charged from the charging hole, the predetermined magnetic field is applied from the magnetic field generating installation while the mixed materials ascend or descend by the difference in specific gravity, to change an ascending direction or a descending direction of at least one kind of the mixed materials, and the other materials, by which the ascending or descending materials at the separation position are picked up from the outlet.
