| Abstract: | The plagioclase of the kaolinised granite of Tirschenreuth is decomposed quantitatively and the biotite almost quantitatively, on the contrary potassium feldspar and mucovite of the parent rock remained unaffected by kaolinisation. The quantity of produced kaolinite is equivalent to the quantity of decomposed plagioclase and biotite. The rare elements Pb, Cu, Cr, Ni, P, and Ti from the kaolinised minerals are adsorbed quantitatively by the kaolin. All other elements are diminished, no element has been added to the kaolin from other sources than from parent rock material. The selective decomposition of plagioclase and biotite in the kaolin-feldspar deposit of Tirschenreuth and the association of rare elements in the kaolin are explainable by weathering processes only. Kaolins from Hirschau-Sehnaittenbach are characterised by extremely high concentrations of the rare elements Ba, Sr, Pb, Cu, and P. The association of rare elements of the kaolin has been originated from the decomposed potassium feldspar of the kaolinised arcoses. The rare elements Pb, Cu, Cr, and P are adsorbed quantitatively by the kaolin. The other elements are diminished, Ba and Sr inclusive and in spite of their high absolute concentrations. The composition of the arcoses of Hirschau-Schnaittenbach prior to kaolinisation is calculated to 56% of quartz and 44% of potassium feldspar by means of the quantities of the elements Pb and Cu analysed in the feldspar and in the kaolin. The kaolin of Hirschau-Schnaittenbach has originated by weathering of the potassium feldspar of the Triassic arcoses. The kaolinisation is of Triassic age because kaolins of the Hirschau-Schnaittenbach type were redeposited near Ehenfeld in the Cenomanian. Kaolin deposits of hydrothermal origin are characterised by a zonal structure and are associated by ores. They are different in geological behaviour and mineral association from kaolin deposits which originated by weathering of feldspathic rocks like the deposits of Tirschenreuth and Hirschau-Schnaittenbach (Upper Palatinate, Bavaria). |
