X-Ray diffraction (XRD) represents a powerful analytical tool for identifying and quantifying crystalline phases in clinker analysis. Clinker is a critical intermediate product in the cement ...

XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...

A new method for conducting materials analysis on historical objects has been developed by a team of researchers. A pioneering X-ray technique that can analyse artefacts of any shape or texture in a ...

With the increasing shortage of natural resources, innovative technologies that provide for the sustainable use of raw materials are increasingly sought after. Mineralogist Dr. Robert Moeckel is ...

Carbonate analysis through X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques has been well documented, and research into both carbonates and clays dates back many decades. An abudance of research has been published ...
