The distribution of chemical elements in bottom sediments of Fumarolnoe lake was obtained by XRFA. The mineral composition of the sediment was examined by SEM, XPA. Variations in contents of alkaline elements in the column of bottom sediments of the Fumarolnoe Lake have been studied using spectral methods (Wavelet and Fourier analyses). It has been established that concentrations of these elements change periodically, periods being correlated with periodic changes in seismic conditions of the present region

A method is proposed for estimating the range of mineral group content in the cores of silicate bottom sediments of lakes based on the search for the minimum and maximum content of stoichiometric minals that make up the group of minerals, provided that the balance of the mineral composition and the content of elements in the sample is observed. The mineral components were determined using the method of qualitative X-ray phase analysis, the contents of the main rock-forming elements were determined by X-ray fluorescence analysis. Comparison with the results of quantitative X-ray phase analysis showed that the contents of mineral groups either lie in the range calculated in the extreme search procedure based on data on the element composition, or overlap with the calculated range within the measurement error. The systematic discrepancy between the results of calculating the range of content of the silicon dioxide phase and the results of quantitative X-ray phase determination of quartz observed for the samples under consideration is due to the presence of an X-ray amorphous phase of biogenic silica. The proposed method for estimating the range of mineral group content is easy to implement, uses the publicly available MS Excel software, and can be useful for estimating variations in mineral composition by core depth, in conditions of frequent shortages of individual sample material distributed between different methods of analysis

The objective of this work is to study the mineral composition of bottom sediments of eight small lakes located on the right bank of the Ob River (Western Siberia) in the Surgut region of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra. The studies were carried out using wave dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDFR) spectroscopy. The content of organic substances, ash, and oxides in the ash in the samples was determined. Based on these data, the studied bottom sediments were classified. The bottom sediments of Lake S-1 are siltstone sands, lakes Vach Lor and S-189 - weakly sapropelic siltstone sands, lakes S-5, S-6, S-3, S-89, and S-294 - typical sapropels. The article presents the content of the main elements in the ash of the studied samples.

The paper reports comparison of three approaches to define the contents of minerals and mineral groups in the carbonate-silicate lake bottom sediments. The two approaches are based on the method of X-ray powder diffraction. The first one treats with the Rietveld Method in the software DIFFRAC Plus diffractometer D8 Advance (PDF-2 database). The second one uses the method of reference intensities (corundum ratios) and optimization of the model powder patterns from the X-ray phase standards of PDF-2 database and equations of the element balance with regularization of the least square functional. The third approach of physic-chemical modeling selects probable single mineral and multi-component phases through modelling the sold solutions, and it uses the data on the element composition obtained by XRF technique, as well as the data of X-ray diffraction on the qualitative mineral composition. Thirty samples of bottom sediment cores taken in the Zun-Torey Lake in East Siberia were analyzed by the three approaches described herein. The contents of mineral groups (feldspars, quartz, clay minerals and carbonates) varied within the range 10-40 mass %. The discrepancies between obtained results show the standard deviation ranging from 2 to 9 mass %. A relative standard deviation commonly provides the value below 30 %, so such determinations could be considered quantitative ones. With regard to the acquired data, it is hard to prefer this or that approach. Available data was employed to assess the error of X-ray phase powder analysis in measuring the abundance of mineral groups in the carbonate-silicate sedimentary rocks in the absence of reference materials to compare with certified mineral composition
