The concentration of potassium hydroxide has little effect on K-feldspar decomposition. The effect of excess rate on the decomposition of K-feldspar is intermediate between temperature and concentration.

K-feldspar concentrations are relatively similar in the fractions with smaller grain sizes ... K-feldspar displays an obvious grain-size effect, with concentrations increasing with increased grain size (Figure 4). During weathering, plagioclases are more easily hydrolyzed than K-feldspars. Consequently, K-feldspars display a higher …

The quartz:K-feldspar ratios ranged from 3.5 to 11.3 (Table 1), except for sample RC1 (ratio of 31). RC1 had an exceptionally high quartz:K-feldspar ratio due to its large concentration of quartz (85%) (Table 1). Similar quartz:K-feldspar ratios were observed for the DJP loess and the deserts to the north and west of the CLP (Figure 3).
