Description
Quantitative XRD analysis of powdered rock samples using Rietveld refinement to determine mineral concentrations and spatial distribution. Samples analyzed under multiple conditions including ethylene glycol saturation and heating to identify clay minerals.
Typical Equipment
- Rigaku SmartLab XRD
- theta-theta goniometer
- rotating sample holder
- Cu radiation source
- agate mortar
- glovebox
Output Measurements
- mineral mass fractions
- mineral volume fractions
- bulk surface areas
