RT Journal Article T1 Mejoras en la separación de minerales pesados usando politungstato sódico T1 Heavy mineral separations using Sodium Polytungstate. Several advances in laboratory procedure A1 Pérez Mazarío, F. A1 Rincón, R. A1 Hernando, S. AB Sodium polytungstate is a new product that can be used for purposes of separation of heavy minerals. The solution is nontoxic and it is recomended as a substitute for tetrabromoetane (TBE) and bromoform, considered as hazardous substances to handle in laboratory.In this paper we point out the advantages and missadvantages observed in its use as well as the laboratory procedures for its management. We also present advances that al/ow us to avoid the problems coming from the slow filtration rates ofsodium polytungstate PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 1991 FD 1991 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/18003 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/18003 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 15 jun 2026
