The resulting mixtures were pressed into pellets using the Atlas® 25 Ton Manual Press and a 32mm die. The raw rock is then crushed and heated above 1000 °C in a kiln to become clinker. The clinker is also subjected to analysis by XRF. In the next stage, the clinker is ground into a fine powder This Table shows the complete list of elements detected and mixed with sulphate rich gypsum in varying amounts, to using XRF. produce different grades of cement, such as Portland cement for industrial construction or Ready-to-use cement for lighter jobs. A final XRF test is carried out. This note shows how XRF analysis can help to ensure your cement product quality is within specification and complies with standards like ASTM C114 or ISO/DIS 29581-2.

Sample milling for XRF Analysis X-ray fluorescence analysis is a standard technique for the quantitative determination of elements in solids. It is essential to control the particle size of the sample and the quality of the pellet which is used, for a proper and reproducible result. A typical mill to reduce the size of the solid and to produce a homogenous powder, which can be used in the pellet press, is a Planetary ball mill. The pulverisette-6 classic line is able to work with one 250ml bowl for 100ml of sample or with two 80ml bowls with 30ml of sample. As grinding media we recommend either zirconia or for harder materials tungsten carbide. The max feed size is 10mm. Recommended number of balls per grinding bowl: Grinding bowl 80ml 250ml Sample volume 10-30ml 30-125ml Ball diameter 20mm 5 15 30mm 6 The specification for the particle size is typically < 45µm. 80ml cement clinker is milled in a 250ml bowl.

XRF Sample Cup Guide Sample cups are disposable plastic containers used for sampling of liquids and powders, sealed with a thin film window that is transparent to the measuring X-Rays. There is a large variety of sample cups and film windows on offer, and the following serves as a rough guide to choosing the correct type. Choosing the right size Different spectrometers require different cup sizes. Consult the documentation for your spectrometer to determine the correct diameter and height of sample cup to fit the holder on the spectrometer. Single or double open-ended? A double open-ended cup is prepared by placing a film window over one end and then filling the cup from the opposite end so that the sample is supported directly by the film window. If the film window is very thin, or is prone to chemical attack by the sample, then it may not be desirable for the window to support the sample in this way for long periods. In these instances a single open-ended cup may be used that allows the sample to be supported by the cup itself during filling and storage, and only be supported by the window once inverted for measurement. Supporting thin film materials The supporting window must be transparent to all the signals produced by the analytes of interest, as well as chemically compatible with the sample. There is currently a large range of window materials available in various thicknesses to contain the sample, such as polypropylene, Kapton and Mylar®. Thicker films will be more durable, but will also attenuate the X-Ray signals more strongly. Chemical Mylar® Poly- ETNOM® Polypro- Kapton® Prolene® Ultra Zythene™ Acid, dilut. Acids, conc. ? ? Alcohols ? Aldehydes Alkalies, conc. Esters Ethers Aliphatic Hydro- Aromatic Hydro- Halogenated Ketones Oxidizing Agents N.B. — ASTM methods for analyzing sulfur in diesel stipulate the use of Kapton or Etnom windows only.
