Abstract

This study provides detailed sample preparation methods for subgrain zircon analyses, and a simple mineral separation technique which overflows light mineral grains out of beaker using the running water from faucet. Excluding separation steps using of the Wilfley table and heavy liquid, this technique is faster and more efficient than conventional one, and remarkably suitable for collecting small amount of zircon for subgrain analyses.

이 연구는 저어콘의 아입자분석을 위한 상세한 시료준비방법과 물을 비커에 계속 흘려 가벼운 광물을 범람시키는 간편한 광물분리기술을 제시한다. 이 방법은 월플리테이블의 사용과 중액분리 과정이 필요하지 않아 기존의 분리법보다 빠르고 효율적이며, 특히 소량의 저어콘이 필요한 아입자분석을 위해 적합하다.
