The technique of isopycnic-zonal centrifugation in a continuous nonaqueous density gradient was used in the purification and separation of standard clay minerals and soil clays. A suspending agent (polyvinylpyrrolidone) compatible with tetrabromoethane and ethanol stabilized clay suspensions produced multiple banding of systems which otherwise flocculated into one band. Data from x-ray diffraction analyses revealed the technique is useful in purification of clay minerals and identification of clay minerals in soil clays; however the banding obtained from the clay fraction of a Dodge silt loam did not represent discrete bands of specific clay minerals.
