ABSTRACT:

For this study the sediment samples were collected from Tapti basin near Chopra district jargon, Maharashtra, India. The samples were sedimented and concentrated by centrifuge method for extraction of clay. X-ray Diffaction (XRD) and Scan Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis have been carried out for the samples. The analysis indicate the clay samples contain Quartz (Silica) and Kaolinite minerals while smectite was found in traces. Beside the above analysis the same samples have also been analysed for physico-chemical and metallic status.
