Abstract

The sorption of potassium by mica partially depleted of potassium was studied by adding potassium to a solution of sodium chloride in quasi-equilibrium with the mica. The concentration of potassium in the solution was increased 1·5 times before reverse exchange was initiated. Potassium resorbed by the depleted mica was extracted more readily than potassium from the original mica. Potassium exchange from mica is not reversible; there is irreversible change in the mica when potassium is exchanged and also an additional hysteresis in the forward and reverse exchange.
