MINERALOGY OF APATITE-AEGIRINE-MESOPERTHITE PEGMATITES OF MINE NO. 243 OF THE ILMENY STATE RESERVE (SOUTH URALS) [PDF]
The paper describes mineralogy of apatite-aegirine-mesoperthite pegmatites, which are located in a fenite halo at the southeastern contact of the Selyankino syenite block (Ilmeny State Reserve, South Urals). Two pegmatite veins are exposed by mines.

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.

The Tonigala granite, N. W. Ceylon [PDF]
A pink, microcline granite at Tonigala in north-western Ceylon occurs as a concordant sheet, one to two miles wide and about 10 miles long, in a complex of migmatitic and granitic biotite and biotite-hornblende gneisses belonging to the PreCambrian ...

Potassium chloride recovery from mechanically activated microcline through the chlorination roasting and leaching route [PDF]
In this study, effects of mechanical activation in the chlorination roasting and water leaching route known as CaCl2 process and developed for the production of potassium chloride (KCl) from potassium feldspar ores were studied. A microcline containing K-

Zeta potential prediction of dominant sandstone minerals via surface complexation modelling
Numerous injection water compositions have been developed by various researchers to optimize the oil recovery via wettability alteration. The ionic composition of the injected brine plays a profound role in the rock/brine and crude-oil/brine interfacial ...
