It is known that bentonite and bentonite-like clays can be used in more than 300 branches of the national economy. It is important
to study the physico-chemical and technological properties of clays. The article presents the results of a study of the material
composition of the raw materials of the bentonite mine "Logon", located in the Kuvasoysky district of the Fergana region of our
republic.
The results obtained prove that not only alkaline montmorillonite-containing clays, but also hydrosluidic and montmorillonite-
containing, mixed-layer derivatives can have the swelling property. The theoretical and practical significance of such new types
of clays is also emphasized.
