Identification of the morphology of clay soil particles

Year, pages: 2016, 301 - 306

Presented paper deals with identification of morphological characteristics of clay soil particles. Clay particles of heavy soils of the East Slovakian Lowland were examined. Particles size, shape and specific surface were examined. Methods of sedimentation, laser diffraction analysis and visualization of particles on electron microscope were applied for research. Textural distribution of soil clay micro particles during sedimentation, temporal course of specific surface and display of micro particles shape were acquired. The smallest identified micro particle had diameter of 0.11 m. Specific surface was in rage of 2.29 to 33.20 m2⋅g-1 according to particle size. Soil clay particles are approximately of petal shape.
