A potassium-rich zeolite in soil development on Danian chalk
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 July 2018
Abstract
A zeolite found in a soil profile developed in Danian chalk was studied. The results showed that it is a heulandite, temperature-stable to above 600°C with a Si/Al ratio of 2.88 and almost completely K-exchanged. The mineral probably formed under burial diagenetic conditions in the chalk formation.
