| Abstract |
| The ratio of ignition loss (IL) to the moisture absorption (MA) at a particular
relative humidity of a clay mineral hCI8 been used as a technique for clay mineral
identification. This technique has been employed for studying the mineral components
present in some Indian Bentonites. It has been found that if the three main
groups of clay. minerals are lined up in the order of increasing of particle fineness
as kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite, the IL values increased in the reverse order
MA, however, followed the same order and increased from Kaolinite to Montmorillonite.
Bihar, Raiula, Akli and IJathiki-Dhani Bentonites were found to be
typically montmorillonitic. Jaipur and Karauli were predominantly illitic. |
