Magnetic separation using a Franz
Isodynamic Magnetic Separator showed that the sands in 1998-99 also contained significantly more paramagnetic minerals such as amphiboles and pyroxenes than the present sands, which is additional evidence of a renewed source of sand from the bluffs during high lake levels.
Zircon was concentrated using standard heavy liquid (tetrabromoethane and methylene iodide) and
isodynamic magnetic separation (0.5 A 10 [degrees] and 1 A 10 [degrees], respectively).
Its name (not an acronym) is derived from the Greek isos, meaning "equal," which yields the prefix iso--as in isometric (equal measure or dimensions),
isodynamic (equal strength or intensity), and isonomy (political rights).
Derived from the Greek isos, meaning "equal," it's the root of the prefix "iso-" that occurs in many words such as "isometric" (of equal measure or dimensions), "
isodynamic" (having the same strength or intensity), and "isonomy" (equality of political rights).
It is essentially an industrial scale version of the well-known Franz
Isodynamic Separator.
Rock pulverization and mineral separation using a Wilfley table, heavy liquids, and a Frantz
isodynamic separator were performed at University of Oviedo (Spain).
Laboratory magnetic separators include the Magnetic Barrier Laboratory Model LB-1 and
Isodynamic Separator Model 1.-1, which separate minerals according to magnetic susceptibility.
Mineral separates were sorted by magnetic susceptibility using a Frantz
isodynamic separator.
