Extraction of Potassium from Microcline by Chlorination

A pyrometallurgical route for the extraction of potassium from microcline was investigated. The reagents used were microcline, calcite and chlorine gas. Isothermal and non-isothermal chlorination assays were performed using experimental equipment adapted for working in corrosive atmospheres. The eff...
