The alteration of trioctahedral micas (biotite, phlogopite, etc.) have been the subject of many studies on weathering and hydrothermal alteration, because they are common rock-forming minerals and act as an important source of soluble K in soil. In this paper, the dissolution process of micas and the formation mechanism of alteration products such as vermiculite, chlorite and kaolinite in the alteration process of micas are reviewed briefly.
