The present invention belongs to the field of geological technology, especially a safe and efficient
heavy mineral sorting and identification method, comprising the following steps: S1: the samples collected in the field are first roughly washed with
clean water to wash away most of the mud attached to the sample surface, and the washed samples are dried at a temperature not exceeding 60°C; S2: 2g of Biao Le
epoxy resin is weighed and poured into a mold, and 0.5-0.7g of the dried sample is poured into the Biao Le
epoxy resin, and stirred while pouring. The present invention uses water and
alcohol to replace the toxic tribromoform heavy liquid, avoids the use of carcinogens, increases the safety in the
heavy mineral analysis process, is convenient for large-scale experimental promotion, and TIMA is an instrument that automatically scans and identifies minerals, mainly based on the brightness of the
energy spectrum line and the backscattering diagram, and can accurately determine the type of mineral by comparing with the standard sample data under the same test conditions, completely excludes human factors interference during
data acquisition, and the
data quality is guaranteed, and a large amount of
heavy mineral geological information can be obtained.
