Review of the Post-IR IRSL Dating Protocols of K-Feldspar [PDF]
Compared to quartz, the infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) of K-feldspar saturates at higher dose, which has great potential for extending the dating limit.

Microfluidic Leaching of Soil Minerals: Release of K+ from K Feldspar. [PDF]
The rate of K+ leaching from soil minerals such as K-feldspar is believed to be too slow to provide agronomic benefit. Currently, theories and methods available to interpret kinetics of mineral processes in soil fail to consider its microfluidic nature ...

Mesoscale and microscopic structures record compaction and crystal-melt segregation in silicic mushes [PDF]
Gravitationally-driven compaction has been proposed as an important mechanism for crystal-melt segregation in silicic mushes. However, there is no microstructural evidence of crystal deformation consistent with compaction in silicic plutonic rocks.

Role of K-feldspar and quartz in global ice nucleation by mineral dust in mixed-phase clouds [PDF]
Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) enable ice formation, profoundly affecting the microphysical and radiative properties, lifetimes, and precipitation rates of clouds.

K-feldspar enrichment in the Pacific pelagic sediments before Miocene
The mineralogy of atmospheric silicate dust controls its interaction with clouds. K-feldspar has a remarkably high ice-nucleating activity, and its distribution may have influenced the global climate throughout Earth's history.

Ice nucleation properties of K-feldspar polymorphs and plagioclase feldspars [PDF]
The relation between the mineralogical characteristics of size-selected feldspar particles from 50 to 800 nm and their ability to act as ice-nucleating particles (INPs) in the immersion mode is presented.

EFFECT OF BIOCHAR ON K AND P RELEASE FROM K-FELDSPAR & ROCK PHOSPHATE AND ITS IMPACT ON SOME GROWTH PARAMETER OF MAIZE PLANT [PDF]
Pot experiments were carried out using sand (collected from Ismailia ARS), in the greenhouse to study the effect of biochar application, on K and P release from their natural bearing minerals i.e.,K- feldspar and rock phosphate and\or bentonite on some ...

Potassium recovery from Brazilian glauconitic siltstone by hydrothermal treatments
Silicate rock Verdete, collected in the central region of Minas Gerais state (Brazil) and composed mostly of micas (glauconite and muscovite) and tectosilicates (K-feldspar and quartz), was hydrothermally treated with several reactants in order to ...
