Phase Relations of Potash Feldspar in Metamorphism
2. The potash feldspar is introduced into the rock during metamorphism. This is be-lieved to be a rather general case. Potash metasomatism (granitization) is described from nearly all metamorphic areas where the degree of metamorphism is that of epidote-amphibolite facies or higher. When the pot-ash feldspar observed in these rocks is a

Feldspar is the most abundant mineral group in the Earth's crust. There are more feldspars (60%) than all the other minerals combined in the outer (13-17) km of the crust. Feldspars include three compositional endmembers: K-feldspar (KAlSi 3 O 8 ), albite (NaAlSi 3 O 8) and anorthite (CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8) Fig.1. Alkali feldspars are ...

Nomenclature and General Properties of Feldspars
Abstract. In this chapter, the specific properties of feldspars revealed in other chapters are brought together, and the resulting general properties are used in the naming of this complex family of minerals. A brief survey of the nomenclature is given in the Summary, and Fig. S-4 gives the compositional ranges of various types of feldspars.
11.27 Feldspar Processing
11.27 Feldspar Processing 11.27.1 General1 Feldspar consists essentially of aluminum silicates combined with varying percentages of potassium, sodium, and calcium, and it is the most abundant mineral of the igneous rocks. The two types of feldspar are soda feldspar (7 percent or higher Na O) and potash feldspar (8 percent or higher K O).
Understanding Glaze and Clay Materials
A glaze batch of high surface tension crawls or beads up on itself, leaving bare patches of exposed clay body. Potash has a slightly lower surface tension than soda and has the lowest surface tension of all materials used in ceramics. Potash Feldspars The presence of potash feldspar in a glaze or clay body has a more refractory effect on the ...

P.C.E. values of ternary mixtures of potash feldspar, soda feldspar, and flint were determined and results shown on a solid phase diagram. No eutectics were developed with either of the binary series of feldspar and flint. The soda feldspar-flint mixtures were more refractory than were those of the potash feldspar series.

Evolution of Feldspars in Granitic Pegmatites | SpringerLink
In most geological categories of granitic pegmatites, the feldspar minerals crystallize under conditions of disequilibrium fractionation facilitated by increasing concentration of some or all of H 2 O,F,B,P, and Li. This departure from cotectic-to-eutectic or peritectic termination of ordinary granitic crystallization generates zoning in textures and feldspar assemblages, …

An additional K-bearing carbonate phase not detected by XRD was also shown to exist in the hydrothermal material (Ciceri et al. 2017a ). Fig. 2.
Potash Feldspar
A feldspar is typically referred to as 'potash' if there is significantly more potassium than sodium (typically there will be 2-5% Na 2 O ). If the amounts are closer to equal they are termed potash-soda feldspars (or vice versa). Of course, real potash feldspars also have small amounts of CaO, MgO, Fe 2 O 3, etc.

Feldspars are a group of tectosilicate minerals being the most important ones for rock formation of the Earth's crust having a share of 51% on it. Syenite is a group of plutonic (or intrusive) rocks being rich on feldspars – nepheline syenite is the most important member of that group. In ceramics and glass, it is used like feldspar as a ...

David Ciceri is using microfluidic techniques to study how potassium leaches from feldspar under exposure to acidic solutions. Ciceri is in the process of writing a review article, which will include a historical perspective, of the potash problem. (See related article.) "We work with a rock which contains 15 percent potash," Allanore says.
