Quantitative analysis of the smectite-to-illite and illite-to-muscovite transformations indicates
that 17–28 wt.% SiO2 and 17–23 wt.% SiO2, respectively, are liberated during these …

Dissolution of feldspars and precipitation of secondary minerals (kaolinite, illite and quartz)
are significant diagenetic processes in arkosic sandstones. We examined moderately buried …
