ABSTRACT:

Clay minerals containing amended soil samples were collected at upper surface from the GIDC, Vapi near Heranba and GIDC, Ankaleshwar near GIL. The samples were precipitated & concentrated by centrifuge method for the extraction of clay X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scan Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis were carried out for these clay seperates quartz (Silica), illite and kaolinite minerals while smectite was found in traces.

Beside the above analysis we have also carried out physico-chemical analysis of the same soil sample.
