K-40 Feldspar

POTASH/SODIUM/CALCIUM FELDSPAR

Chemistry

CaO0.170
K2O10.600
MgO0.050
Na2O3.300
Al2O317.880
SiO267.340
Fe2O30.080

Volatiles

LOI0.190

Miscellaneous

Notes

K-40 is used as a source of alumina and potash in specialized glass batch formulations requiring high potassium levels. Carefully beneficiated using the froth floation process, K-40 Feldspar offers low iron and high alkali content per unit of alumina.
