X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) - Limitations for Mineral Identification
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a widely used analytical technique that can be used to identify and quantify the elemental composition of a wide range of materials, including minerals. But how does this compare to XRD and FTIR?
XRD Vs FTIR For Clay Mineral Analysis
X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy are both analytical techniques that can be used to identify and characterize the chemical composition of materials, including clay minerals.
Let’s compare their strengths and limitations.
Clay, Clay Minerals and Product Fines
In civil engineering, clay often means clay soil which contains clay (and other) minerals with plasticity and cohesive properties.
Engineering Geology
Engineering geologists are essential to the Australian construction industry as they provide an understanding of the geological conditions of a given area.
