Mineral Separation Lab

Frantz Magnetic Separator

Mineral Separation Laboratory – Dr. Glenn Sharman (PI) has recently established a Mineral Separation Laboratory in the Department of Geosciences, University of Arkansas. This lab includes a jaw crusher, disc mill, Gemeni water table, Frantz Magnetic Separator, and glassware and heavy liquids (LST and methylene iodide) for density separation (Fig. 1). Methods development is ongoing, particularly related to the development of “no loss” mineral separation techniques.
