A reinterpretation of monalbite
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Summary
A neutron activation analysis of one of the crystals of ‘monalbite’, which was monoclinic at room temperature, shows that it contains a large proportion of potassium. It is thus not a polymorph of pure NaAlSi3O8. The contamination occurred by transfer of K through the atmosphere of the furnace from potassium-bearing ceramic materials.
