Tetraphenylborate-assisted extraction of K and Ar from micaceous clay minerals: a promising method for the geochronology of diagenetic illite
Abstract
Abstract Tetraphenylborate (TPB)-assisted exchange of Na + for structural K was explored to establish the extent to which K and radiogenic Ar were removed from mixed-layer illite-smectite (Ilt-Sme) and detrital muscovite in various clay fractions (
