potash feldspar
Hi,
I'm translating a document about mining which is out of my usual field of expertise. The context is:
"L’[product] viene estratta da [company]nel giacimento di aplite porfirica della miniera [mine], situata nel comune di Porto Azzurro (LI). La caratteristica saliente di questa materia prima è rappresentata dalla percentuale di feldspato (pari a circa il 30%) e soprattutto dalla presenza significativa di minerali argillosi di tipo illitico, nella percentuale del 24%".
I can't find illitico anywhere. I found something about "illithic" meaning "bad stone" but nothing more.
Can anyone help? Thanks!

illite
Dovrebbe essere questo:
http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/illite/
illite Denominazione generica di minerali argillosi kAl2Si4O10(OH)2, contraddistinti da unità strutturali in gran parte simili a quelle della montmorillonite e della mica.

Clay Minerals

and glauconite (a green clay sand); formed by the decomposition of some
micas and feldspars; predominant in marine clays and shales.

The Nature of Illite
THE NAME illite was proposed by Grim, Bray and Bradley in 1937 for the
mica-type mineral occurring in argillaceous sediments. It was specifically
stated that "the term is not proposed as a specific mineral name, but as a general term for the clay mineral constituent of argillaceous sediments
belonging to the mica group".

Comment: "Thanks to all of you. I went for this in the end as there was a table that I hadn't seen further down in the document with this translation already in it! That will teach me to look through things more carefully!"
