BENTONITE CLAYS FROM 10TH KHUTOR DEPOSITE: FEATURES OF GENESIS, COMPOSITION AND ADSORPTION PROPERTIES

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the study of mineral composition and genesis of Desiatiy Khutor deposit of bentonite clays located in the Republic of Khakasia. The mineral composition of natural samples and fraction < 0.5 mm was studied in details by X-ray diffraction. On the basis of the geological structure,tectonic and mineragenous zoning data, the deposit was designated to a particular genetic type of deposits, lying among coal-bearing rocks. Promising areas for bentonite exploration were highlighted within this bentonite- bearing province.
