Abstract
The aim of the research was to determine the properties of loess clay in Kattabog deposit (Uzbekistan) to identify possible areas of use. Modern methods of physicochemical analysis are used: spectroscopic, x-ray phase, electron microscopic methods of analysis. The research results showed that the main phases of clay are hydromica, quartz, kaolinite, calcite and orthoclase. Based on the research, it can be stated that the clay of Kattabog deposit has good physical and technical properties and mineralogical composition, which is a valuable raw material for the production of various ceramics, bricks, tiles, majolica and other products.
