Extract

The general effect of grinding upon various minerals and the manner in which time of grinding affects cation-exchange capacity, etc., have been known for some time, but relatively little information is available upon the micas (Jackson and Truog, 1939; Kelley and Jenny, 1946; Parkert et al., 1950; Mackenzie and Milne, 1953). This, coupled with an observation made here on the pronounced effect of short-period grinding on muscovite, has led to a more detailed examination of the effects induced by such grinding upon some micas. Since the data for muscovite are completely discussed elsewhere (Mackenzie and Milne, 1953) only preliminary experiments upon biotite and vermiculite are recorded here.
