Qualitative and quantitative analysis of clay minerals are important in the evaluation of the swelling potential of expansive soils A relatively simple method for the quantification of clay minerals of Al-Khod (Northern Oman) using an X-ray diffraction method is described in detail in this paper. The method is based on the additions of known internal standards to the clay sample. The clay investigated in this study contained montmorillonite, palygorskite, illtte and kaolinite. Internal standards of these minerals were mixed with the clay at different proportions and intensities of reflected peak areas were measured. It was found that the peak areas intensities relate linearly with additions of different proportions of standards. From these intensities, the clay minerals present in the clay of Al-khod were estimated.

AbstractQuantitative analysis of six clay minerals commonly found in drilling mud solids is studied by x-ray diffraction using the method of internal standards. Standard clay samples are used with three internal standards to derive calibration curves from which four synthetic mud solids are analyzed. If careful sample preparation and handling are employed, reasonably accurate and reproducible results are obtained.

This paper studied the problems met in the quantitative analysis of synthetic Mullite phase,which was based on the analysis of various typical Mullite composite scheme. A method of quantitative analysis of Mullite phase (excluding amorphous phase SiO2) by use X-ray diffraction was discussed. The error of the analysis can be verified by chemical analysis of Al2O3 content. The method can effectively improve the accuracy of quantitative analysis of the Mullite phase, the error analysis is less than 3%. The error range can meet the accuracy requirement of Mullite content in the production.Studies show that this method is preliminarily solved how to quantitative the content of mullite phase by X-ray diffraction method .

ABSTRACTA method of analysis of disordering in α- and β-SiC polycrystals by numerical modeling, and a simulation of X-ray diffraction profiles are presented. The diffraction patterns of nonperiodic structures were simulated for models of 2000 layer fragments of the structure. Computer generation of the models was based on the Poisson function describing the size distribution of the domains of basic polytypes and faults. The models were quantified by a set of input probability parameters describing relative frequencies of the occurrence of the domains of polytypes and faults. Implementation of a correlation parameter that characterizes coherence of sequential domains of a given polytype assures a good reproducibility of the simulated diffraction profiles obtained for the same set of the model parameters. Based on this method, a quantitative analysis of disordering in polycrystals of SiC annealed in the temperature range 1100–2200 °C was performed.

SummaryA precise and accurate X-ray diffraction method has been developed whereby the weight percentages of aragonite and low- and high-magnesium calcite are determined from the integrated peak areas of spiked and unspiked samples. The spike mixture was prepared from organisms extracted from the samples to be analysed. Use of a spiking method also avoided the preparation of working curves from artificial mixtures of carbonate minerals, which may not have the same diffraction behaviour as the unknowns. A test of the precision of the method indicates the following coefficients of variation: aragonite, 1·4 %; low-magnesium calcite, 1·5 %; high-magnesium calcite, 7·8 %. A test of the accuracy of the method indicates no significant bias in any of the carbonate results, except in samples where high-magnesium calcite values are below 10 %. Quartz may also be determined by this method (coefficient of variation 23·9 %; positive bias in values greater than 10 %).

An X-ray diffraction method is described that determines calibration constants using only diffracted intensities and calculated phase absorption coefficients through a least-squares procedure. The conditions necessary for the application of this method are that the qualitative analysis be complete, that sufficient samples with essential differences in the quantitative phase composition be available and that the chemical compositions of the phases be known approximately. It does not require the use of pure phases or the measuring of the sample absorption coefficients. It allows the easy introduction of known calibration constants, thus reducing the number of samples needed and increasing the versatility of the method.

In order to contribute to the enhancement of local materials, Aklakou clays taken from the quarry and used for pottery have been characterized from a physicochemical and mineralogical point of view. Thus, the samples taken from the quarry were subjected to chemical and mineralogical analyzes. Several qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques were used (chemical analysis, thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and analysis by I.R. spectroscopy). These results demonstrated the richness of this quartz clay, resulting in a high proportion of silica (77.62%). This study was therefore essential before any application of this type of clay in the formulation of aggregates and pottery products or even ceramics in the broad sense. We can therefore conclude that the clays mined at the Aklakou quarry are very favorable materials for formulations of pottery products and in other fields such as the formulation of light aggregates.
