Montmorillonite particles were modified by iron oxides using the precipitation process with the aim to monitor the differences in the structural and magnetic properties of intercalated and adsorbed Fe 3+. The Mössbauer spectra recorded at 5 K in zero and 6 T external fields, IR spectra and TG curves measured in zero and 32 mT fields identified the ferrihydrite pillars in an interlayer space of the montmorillonite structure and γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles adsorbed on the mineral surface. The temperature dependent Mössbauer spectra (25-300 K) reflect the superparamagnetic behaviour of maghemite nanoparticles and ferrihydrite pillars with the blocking temperatures of about 80 and 25 K, respectively.
