Abstract
As members of a small team organized by Prof. H. V. A. Briscoe to study, geochemically, the hydrolytic effects of humidity on mine dusts (< 1μ), we have recently investigated the conditions under which various mineral silicates are degraded by simple aqueous extraction towards layer-lattice end-products belonging to the sericite, chlorite and clay types, and have examined the sols obtained.
