ABSTRACT

In the article is a brief description of the methods of thermal analysis, description of
bentonite deposits and treatment of this material. Also, this text is discussed the
practical application of thermal analysis to evaluate materials that can be reused as
secondary raw materials in various industries. This method allows both quantitative and
qualitative evaluation of a sample. Examples of such material may be bentonite, its
evaluation of thermal analysis is presented in this article.
