Abstract
Differential thermal analysis has been utilised for determination of surface area of china clay and bentonite samples. It, has been observed that the amount of mechanically adsorbed H2O in kaolinite and bentonite samples varies linearly with the surface area of the samples. The amount of this adsorbed H2O has been determined from the area of the initial peak that appeared in the DTA curves of these samples.
