STUDY OF PHYSICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF CLAYS PREVALENT IN ADJARA REGION.

The Region of Adjara is one of the most interesting region by existence of mineral resources, which is not only untapped also not studied. At this stage of study, our purpose was: to research physical features and a chemical composition of biologically active substances in the clays spread in Adjara. In particular, we determined the fractional content and particle size of samples, density, humidity, fluidity, Petrographic studies and X-ray diffraction, also existence of amino and fatty acids. X-ray diffraction and petrographic studies were conducted on the base of Mining Geology Faculty of Georgian Technical University. There was used the polarization microscope Amscope PZ300T-5M and DRON-3. Determination of existence amino and fatty acids has been undertaken on the base of Tbilisi State Medical University, the method was chromatography on the thin layer. Consequently, from studying physical features we determined that mostly fractional content of our samples are from 0.5 to 1 mm. particle size. Humidity was 15%, according to density and fluidity our samples belong to middle heaviness 1100>p>600kg/m3 and high friable powders. As for X-ray diffraction and petrographic studies, there was discovered significant quantity of minerals: Ca-montmorillonite, Ca-Na feldspar, quartz, calcite, dolomite, gipsy and hematite. Based on the research there was not discovered amino and fatty acids in the clay samples.
