Differential separation of albite from microcline by

Na-feldspar (albite) and K-feldspar (microcline or orthoclase) are major feldspar minerals with identical crystal structures and physico-chemical properties. Flotation appears to be a unique method of separating these minerals. Fundamental studies on an amine/feldspar system in the presence of monovalent salts have shown that …

Feldspar minerals make up over 50% of Earth's crust.

Feldspar is the name of a large group of rock-forming silicate minerals that make up over 50% of Earth's crust. [1] They are found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks in all parts of the world. Feldspar minerals have very similar structures, chemical compositions, and physical properties. Common feldspars include orthoclase (KAlSi 3 O …

Feldspar | The Canadian Encyclopedia

Feldspar occurs mostly as white, green or red-brown, ranging from flesh colour to the colour of brick. A special type of feldspar is extracted from pegmatites in very small quantities (50-100 t per year) at a mine near Buckingham, Québec. This feldspar has a glassy lustre, is high in potassium oxide (K 2 O), and low in sodium oxide (Na 2 O ...
