Abstract

The surface properties of wet-ground muscovite were studied by thermodynamics of water adsorption. The surface appears to be covered by contaminating material, probably organic, which is strongly held; it was not removed at 350° C and under a vacuum of 10−4 torr. Attention is directed to the difficulty of maintaining freshly made silicate surfaces without contamination and to the importance of surface conditions in the interpretation of silicate properties which involve surface phenomena.
