Abstract

Two phlogopites depleted of potassium by extraction with sodium tetraphenyl boron released resorbed potassium more readily than the original micas, but the large difference in the exchange parameters of the two micas were paralleled by those of their potassium-saturated alteration products. The apparent basal spacings of the potassium-saturated alteration products were about 0·03Å larger than those of the corresponding untreated micas; their broader lines indicate structural irregularities.
