We manage a mineral separation lab to obtain minerals for geochronology and geochemical studies. The lab includes a ceramic plate jaw crusher, ball mills, a Frantz Magnetic Separator, sieves, and heavy liquids for density separation.

Methods

• Frantz Magnetic Separator (separation of minerals according to magnetic susceptibility)

• Separation using heavy liquids

• Sieves

• Ball mills

• Ceramic plate jaw crusher

	Frantz Magnetic separator for separation of dia- and paramagnetic minerals
	Retsch ball mill for producing powders of small sample quantities
	Spex ceramic plate jaw crusher (PGE and Re analyses)
