The investigation of the exchanged and Interacted derivatives by XRD. FTIR and thermal methods and composition studies by neutron activation analysis establishes the possible utility of a naturally occurring Na(l) aluminosilicate-hytdrate for environmental control through cation-exchange and adsorption
