A Nontoxic Heavy Liquid and Inexpensive Filters for Separation of Mineral Grains: RESEARCH METHOD PAPER. John Callahan
An aqueous solution of LST® is one of many heavy liquids used to concentrate palynomorphs. It and aqueous solutions of sodium polytungstate (SPT) are replacing toxic heavy liquids, such as ...
A non-toxic heavy liquid and inexpensive filters for separation of mineral grains
Sodium polytungstate has been investigated for toxicity and eco-toxicity using all currently available methods. The result: the substance is classified as non-toxic. When used correctly, this heavy liquid does not pose any risks to the health of people or animals, nor is it …
The density of conodont elements is between 2.90 g cm-3 and 3.04 g cm-3, probably very close to 3.00. Removing all traces of dolomite and calcium carbonate before density separation keeps the viscosity of sodium polytungstate solution low enough to make it useful for density separations as high as 3.04 g cm-3. In most cases, a nearly clean phosphatic fraction can be produced by …

To obtain a clean heavy liquid, while evaporating the SPT solution on the hot plate, it is necessary to filter the solution with double-piled paper filters when a density of ≤2.5 g/cm 3 is reached in order to remove impurities, tiny SPT crystals formed during evaporation, or mineral grains left over by inaccurate previous operators.
than the toxic heavy liquids. As indicated previously, itevaporates extremely quickly and isvery viscous. Thorough rinsing of samples and separatory funnels isabsolutely necessary! Using a small vacuum pump tohelp drain the liquid ishighly recommended. This will cut the heavy liquid separation time inhalf and reduce student restlessness.

Most conodont workers use heavy liquids that are carcinogenic or toxic in other ways. The use of the non-toxic water-based liquid sodium polytungstate has not been widely accepted because of reports that its high viscosity prevents the more delicate conodonts from settling, that it tends to crystallise during use, and that it is more expensive than traditional liquids. If used in the …
Protocol for Heavy-Liquid Separation of Heavy Minerals and Recovery of Non-Toxic Separation Liquids Introduction This protocol was developed in the course of heavy-mineral analyses performed at the New Jersey Geologi-cal and Water Survey (NJGWS) in the 1980s and 1990s. NJGWS processed heavy-mineral samples strictly with non-toxic heavy liquid ...

We experimented with the use of lithium heteropolytungstate (LST) as a heavy liquid to concentrate pollen in sediments from a desert paleolake with low pollen abundances. LST is one of several non-toxic heavy liquids based on inorganic tungsten that are replacing an older generation of heavy liquids that are harmful to human health, such as zinc bromide, zinc …
The purpose of this step is to remove dust and small grains from the sample so that a cleaner separation can be obtained in the Frantz and heavy liquids. This step is critical for <300 um size fractions, and optional for larger fractions. …
Separation . Using a heavy liquid with a specific density of 2.8g/ml, the "heavy" grains are separated from the "lighter" grains which mostly consist of quartz and feldspar. The separation is done in a separating funnel in a temperature controlled room of 20°C.

Heavy mineral separation were carried out with a sodium polytungstate solution (density = 2.85 g cm− 3) as a heavy liquid (Mange and Maurer, 1991). Representative 1 g subsamples of the 36 to 63 μm fraction and the heavy liquid were placed in the centrifuge at a speed of 3000 rpm (Mange and Maurer, 1991; Poppe et al., 1995).

Heavy Liquid Separation. This step is the most important in the mineral separtion lab procedure. Heavy mineral separation removes all the minerals that are more or less dense than quartz. Minerals such as rutile (TiO2) and zircon (ZrSiO4) and coal will disrupt later chemistry. Procedure. Materials: 250 ml separatory funnels. Ring stands
Inorganic heavy liquids Aqueous solutions of sodium metatungstates have certain advantages over organic liquids, such as being virtually non-volatile and non-toxic, and densities of up to 3.1 can be achieved. A new heavy liquid, lithium heteropolytungstates (LST), was introduced for industrial use at the beginning of 1996 ().

Sodium metatungstate (SMT), 3Na2WO4 · 9WO3 · H2O, is a nontoxic (Sax, 1979), high-density (1.00-3.10 g/cm3) separating compound which results in nearly neutral (pH 6) solutions of relatively low viscosity. It was presented as a medium for density gradient centrifugation by Plewinsky and Kamp (1984). Since then, investigators have used SMT (or sodium …
