The Behavior of Water in Orthoclase Crystal and Its Implications for Feldspar Alteration

The phenomenon of feldspar alteration that occurs in the interior of feldspar crystals remains poorly understood. We observed experimentally that water can go into orthoclase crystals under pressures of up to 600 MPa at room temperature. With increasing pressure, the FTIR spectra of colorless orthoc...
