Abstract

During the 1994-95 two-year period, a research project has been carried out to characterise the mineralogical and chemical composition of some rural soils located close to five clay outcrops that supply the Castellon (spanish province) ceramic industry. A total of 50 soil samples were collected in accordance with statistical criteria and their chemical elemental composition were determined by ICP-AES. The mineralogical composition of each sample was discovered using X-ray diffraction. Semi-quantitative mineralogical analysis was done following the Chung^ methodology. A hierarchical cluster analysis using Ward method has been
