| Summary: | Feldspar is used as an important raw material in the ceramic, porcelain, and glass industries and as afilling material in the welding electrode, rubber, plastic, and paint industries. The ratio of Na2O(originated from Na-feldspar) and K2O (originated from K-feldspar) in feldspar plays a decisive role inmany issues, from melting points to usage areas. However, since Na-feldspar and K-feldspar havesimilar physicochemical properties, it is difficult to separate and analyze them from their naturalmineral environment by traditional methods. For this reason, it has become necessary to choose amethod that can be applied without separating feldspar species from each other and without damagingthe sample. The ATR-FTIR method was preferred because of its ease of sample preparation,measurement without damaging the sample, and providing information about the functional groupsand other components in the sample. In this study, using ATR-FTIR (attenuated total reflectance-fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy and multivariate statistical techniques, the percentages ofNa2O and K2O in feldspar samples were analyzed in a natural matrix environment without anypretreatment, and Na-feldspar and K-feldspar samples were grouped. |
