Mineral clays attract renewed interest for medical applications. Important properties of clays which make them useful in pelotherapy are high surface area and fine grain size distribution, that imply enhanced absorption/adsorption capacity and high cationic exchange capacity. A pharmaceutically available clay recommended for a large range of medical applications was analyzed by X-ray diffraction, thermal analyses, specific surface area and particle size distribution analysis by UV laser diffraction method.

Keywords: medical clay; XRD; DTA; specific surface area; particle size distribution.
