Extract

It has long been realized that grinding increases the cation-exchange capacity of minerals and that it damages their crystal structures. However, while a considerable amount of data has been accumulated with regard to the effect upon various minerals, and clay minerals in particular, very little is known about how micas behave and such results as are available are somewhat inconsistent (1, 2, 3). In view of this and of a fortuitous observation that short-period grindingin an agate mortar affected the nature of muscovite considerably, a more detailed study of this subject has been undertaken.
