Analysis of Portland Cement, Clinker, Raw Mix, and Associated Ceramic Materials Using an Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Analyzer With Interelement Corrections
Abstract:A rapid multielement analysis procedure for cement and ceramic type materials has been developed which uses pelletized powders and an exponential correction to the observed x-ray intensities. Only the more significant interactions are considered in an iterative process requiring a minimum of standards. The interaction coefficients are determined by a nonlinear multiple least squares fit of the standards. Average deviations obtained for the analysis of light elements in cement ranged from a low of 0.006% for K2… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
