Minerals separation Laboratory Equipment: 

Frantz & Carpco 

  • S.G. Frantz Company Inc isodynamic separator Model L-1 with max current 1.5A, forward slope 20-40˚ and side slope 5-15˚
  • Carpco high-intensity wet electromagnetic separator Model MWL3465 with low range current 0-0.7A and high range current 0-6.0A
  • Stainless steel sieves (aperture from 4mm to 30µm)
  • Fritsch Analysette sieve shaker
  • Centrifuges for small (up to 50ml) and large (up to 100ml) volumes

 

Research activity:

Minerals are separated according to their size, magnetic susceptibility (exploiting either paramagnetic or diamagnetic properties) or density. For the latter, separating fennels and high density liquids are available: bromoform (CHBr3 with density 2,89 g/cm3) and diiodomethane (C2H2I2 with density 3,325 g/cm3).
