Abstract

The hydrothermal synthesis of well-crystallized ammonium-phlogopite has been performed in our department's high pressure and temperature (HPT) laboratory. The experimental techniques are described. The experimental conditions for the synthesis of the mica were 550°C and 2000 bars. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) characteristics of the ammonium- phlogopite are discussed. Implications for the natural occurrence of the mineral are considered and potential environments for its discovery are suggested.
