| Abstract: | On addition of acids and bases to fine-ground feldspar or flint, the same phenomena are observed as with clays, Le., flocculation, deflocculation, and absorption. The effects are less sharp than with clays, the zone of deflocculation covering a wider range of PH and flocculation occurring at lower pH (greater acidity). The sensitiveness of flint and feldspar to reagents increases with fineness of grinding. |
