"All of the media are capable of absorbing a significant amount of water
within their structures."

This is one of the clays I am playing with.(along with old roof tiles and
zeolite).

I purchased it from a hydroponic supplier

None of them look like they would ad or ab sorb anything!

I don't think a lot of research has been done on clays in soil except by the
people who sell it.(see zeolite site)
There is someone from Cornell doing some work on TP clays;
perhaps you can track him down on their site.
