INFLUENCE OF THE SILICATE ION ON POTASSIUM FIXATION1

Abstract
Illitic and montmorillonit-ic clay minerals fix large amounts of K when dried from suspensions containing K2SiO3 Kaolinitic clay minerals do not fix significant amounts of K when dried with K2SiO3. Fixation was measured by determining the difference between the amount of K added as K2iO3 and the amount of K removed by boiling [image]HNO3.
