Abstract
Determining weight concentration of clay in a sample of a porous material, a water-soluble salt of a metal is selected that enters in a selective ion exchange reaction with clay, with the general formula RM, where a metal Ris selected from the group {Ba; Sr; Tl; Rb. . . }, Mis selected from the group {Cl; NO; OHn; CH3COO, SO; . . . } in accordance with the table of solubility of inorganic substances in water. Clay is marked by means of mixing the clay with a water solution of the selected salt of the metal, residues of the salt of the metal that have not interacted with the clay are removed. X-ray fluorescent spectrometry of the marked clay and of the sample is conducted and content of the metal in the marked clay and natural content of the metal in the sample are determined. A water solution of the marked clay is pumped through the sample, the sample is dried and X-ray fluorescent spectrometry of the entire sample or of its individual segments is conducted. Content of the metal in the sample or in each segment is determined and weight concentrations of clay retained in the sample or in each of its segments are determined.
