To produce high-quality cement, the mineralogical and chemical composition of raw materials, as well as of intermediate and finished products, needs to be determined. At each stage of the production ...

Many commercial techniques exist for solid sample analysis, and the best choice depends on the analytical requirements. Techniques range from inexpensive, portable methods for bulk analysis to costly, ...

As a surface-sensitive technique, the diffraction signal comes from the top few nanometers of the crystal lattice in EBSD. Hence, the top layer needs to be devoid of oxidation, contamination and ...

Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis is among the most commonly used tools, yet it is not always the best method. This is because sample digestion and frequent calibration are necessary ...
