What is Ignition Loss Procedure for Inorganic Soils about?

This procedure describes a test to determine the percentage of ignition loss of inorganic soils as an indicator of the amount of coarse mica present. The test involves sieving a soil sample, weighing a portion of the sample, igniting it at 1000°C for 45 minutes, weighing it again after cooling, and calculating the percentage mass loss. The percentage loss is calculated based on the mass of material passing a 75-micron sieve to indicate the ignition loss of the coarse mica fraction.
