In this article, 100 g of vermiculite sample was extracted and ground into powder in a vibratory mill. Then the sample was fired in a crucible casting furnace at a temperature of 400oC for 20 minutes. The fired sample was removed from the oven and placed in three separate special molds without cooling. Samples in the form of cooled tablets are installed in the working chamber of the THERMOFISHER - ARL Perform'X X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and chemical analysis is performed using a special program.
