• The palygorskite of Bercimuel is treated with HCL in growing concentrations (1N, 3N, 5N, 7N). Two samples are treated: the natural palygorskite (With quartz and illite impurities basically) and the minor fraction of two microns. It is studied through XR difraction and chemical analysis, observing how gettin finally the destruction of the structure. The silica that formed the tetrahedral sheet wil remain tied up to the sample for not being soluble in these acid concentrations.
