Unveiling the enhancement mechanism of Fe ion for muscovite …
Metal ions have been used to improve the flotation recovery of muscovite, while the enhancement mechanism is still unclear. In this paper, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to investigate the adsorption structure of sodium oleate (NaOL) on muscovite surface, and the diffusivity and …

Partition of trace elements in co-existing biotite, muscovite and
The distribution of trace elements in co-existing minerals suggests that equilibrium was attained and that muscovite is a primary mineral. These observations and the comparison of the trace-element chemistry of megacrysts and groundmass potassium feldspars of porphyritic rock types lead to the conclusion that the megacrysts are in face ...

During syn-crystallization, X Mg of muscovite strongly controls the distribution of Ti between biotite and muscovite (Yang and Rivers, 2000). To yield both aluminous phases of biotite and muscovite, the magma needs to be aluminous enough at the point of biotite crystallization, thus, Al VI of biotite might increase, whereas Ti (Mg) decreases.
