摘要:This study reports the physicochemical analysis of two deposit clays from the Akrach area (north-west, morocco), Miocene deposit clay (MC) and Pliocene deposit clay (PC) (whole rock). Experiments were carried out to evaluate their potential applications. The clay fraction (particles smaller than 2 microns) from these to deposits underwent a series of mineralogical, chemical and physico-chemical analyses . The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and elemental analysis by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) show that examined samples should be mixtures of kaolinite, smectite, chlorite and large amount of muscovite-illite. Swelling clay it mainly found in the fraction <2 μm with a clear presence in the Miocene clay (DRX analysis)
