This article reports the possibility of detoxification of chrysotile asbestos through a low temperature heating and grinding treatment. The effect of thermal treatment at different temperatures in the range from 500 to 725 °C for 3 h on raw natural asbestos was characterized by thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that an isothermal treatment at 650 °C caused the complete dehydroxylation of chrysotile Mg3Si2O5(OH)4. Transformation of the dehydroxylated phase to forsterite Mg2SiO4 was obtained by heat treatment in the range 650–725 °C. The study of microstructure changes of heated asbestos show the destruction of characteristic fibers of chrysotile and formation of strips of forsterite. It is easily milled to pulverulent-shape material by mechanical milling in vibratory mill.
