A procedure, using hydrofluoric acid, for quantitative mineral separations from silicate rocks
May 1, 1975
Some minerals of silicate rocks can be quantitatively recovered from rock fragments by prolonged digestion in cold, concentrated hydrofluoric acid. The procedure yields clean, physically unharmed crystals, mostly of minerals that occur largely or only in trace amounts.
