A clay is defined by size : less than 2 micron (geologists) or 1 micron (colloid chemists) There are four types of clays, kaolin (kaolinite, dickite, halloysite and nacrite), smectite (montmorillonite and nontronite), illite and chlorite So sizing and mineralogical identities would be important as initial characterisations naturally with the detailed characterization of the clays CLAYS AND CLAY MINERALS IN MEDICAL GEOLOGY The use of minerals for medicinal purposes is, most probably, as old as mankind itself The therapeutic use of minerals is known since the oldest civilizations In CHARACTERIZATION OF CLAYS USED FOR MEDICINAL It was found that high concentrations of silica, alumina with SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 ratio characterized the studied clays; its high amounts of CaO and Fe 2 O 3 in the Late Jurassic clays indicated their calcareous nature In addition, technological tests indicated moderate to low plasticity values for the Late Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous clays, respectivelyGeological and technological characterization of the
clays (James, et al, 2008) New pores are created by liberation of some ions such as Al, Fe +2, Fe +3 GEOLOGY and Mg ions from the octahedral layer exposed at edges of smectite, similarly, Si released from tetrahedral layer precipitates in the form of amorphous silica with H ions (Tiwari et al, 1996)Activation process enhances the surface area andThe mineralogy of bulk clays as supplied to the Source Clays Repository is given together with preliminary characterization of nontronite refined from these sam plesGEOLOGY AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TWO Thorough examination of clays in terms of composition, plastic behavior, shrinkage and particle size, is necessary for the evaluation of their suitability for ceramic production A combination of several analytical techniques can contribute to the identification and characterization CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES OF CLAYS FOR THE
