Can you post the typical analysis of the FFF feldspar you mention? If you do, I can recalculate it using other materials.

 

But to really be accurate I would also need the typical analysis of your OTHER raw materials that might be used to substitute..... the Neph. SY. and so on.

 

best,

The Potash Feldspar is: SiO2 65.8, Al2O3 18.5, Fe2O3 0.1, CaO 0.38, K2O 12, Na2o 2.89, LOI 0.33

 

The Nephaline Syenite is: SiO2 60.5, Al2O3 23 , Fe2O3 0.1, CaO 1, K2O 1, Na2o 10.2 , LOI 0.2
