Several feldspars, muscovite, biotite and quartz, as well as diaspore clay and kao linite, in fairly pure state, were severally subjected to the procedure of “rational analysis” of clays. It was shown by analysis of the residues and solutions obtained:1 That all the feldspars were attacked to a greater or less extent 2 That the micas were attacked more than the kaolinite 3 That kaolinite was not wholly decomposed by the treatment 4 That diaspore clay was not approximately decomposed by the treatment 5 That the amount of decomposition of all the substances depends to a considerable extent on the time and temperature of treatment.As a result of these conclusions, it would not be possible to draw any conclusion as to the clay substance content of a particular clay from the results of a rational analysis.
