X-Ray Diffractometry

X-ray diffraction is a highly useful semi-quantitative method for determining bulk materials and fines separates of a given sample. Approximately 1 gram of sample is required for whole material analysis and 5-10 grams required for the average fines separates analysis. Bulk material is crushed and analyzed to provide information on the majority components. Fines separation of the less than 5 micron fraction, or the less than 2 micron fraction allows for a detailed study of those components, with a variety of treatments used to enhance their characteristics. Identification of damaging fines is very important in the completion and stimulation procedures utilized by field personnel.
