“…The example of the last method is an acid treatment which causes disaggregation of clay particles, the elimination of mineral impurities, and the dissolution of the external layers. As a result, surface area, surface activity, and pore volumes increase (Lenarda et al, 2007;Panda et al, 2010;Zhang et al, 2012;Banaś et al, 2013;Szczepanik et al, 2015). A high level of biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity of Hal made this material and its modifications also as a potential carrier for loading various drug molecules (Price et al, 2001;Levis and Deasy, 2003;Kelly et al, 2004;Veerabadran et al, 2007;Forsgren et al, 2010;Shi et al, 2011;Vergaro et al, 2012;Tan et al, 2013;Tan et al, 2014).…”
