Powder X-ray Diffraction Analysis of Lime-Phase Solid Solution in Converter Slag

Quantitative Determination of Free Lime Amount in Steelmaking Slag by X-ray Diffraction

Steelmaking slag is a by-product of steel making. It has been reused as a material for civil engineering, pavement construction etc. For such applications, it is extremely important to evaluate the amount of free lime, which has the chemical form of calcium monoxide (CaO) and can cause the failure of mechanical properties by volume expansion through absorption of water or carbon dioxide gas. So...

X-Ray Powder Diffraction Metrics

To compare sample data from x-ray diffraction a suitable metric is developed to evaluate the similarity (or dissimilarity) between samples and to compare it to a references. The methodology focuses on the d-lines and uses the intensity measurements indirectly in the algorithm. The resulting d-line distribution and summary statistics of the differences is used to establish whether a true differe...

X-ray powder diffraction analysis of methionine sulfoxide

Methionine sulfoxide (MetSO, C5HnNO3S, Figure 1), a product of vegetal origin, is an amino acid similar to methionine. It is present in garlic (Sugii et al., 1964), onion (Kuon and Bernhard, 1963), nut (Kristensen et al, 1974), carrot (Alabran and Mabrouk, 1973), apple (BielinskaCzarnecka, 1963; McKee and Urbach, 1953), and banana plant (Steward et al., 1960). Recently, methionine sulfoxide was...

Zeolite Structure Analysis with Powder X-ray Diffraction and Solid-state Nmr Techniques

Large advances in the development of catalytic materials were made with the synthesis of zeolites, which are porous crystalline materials that can be used as catalysts, catalyst supports, sorbents and ion exchangers. Zeolite structures consist of T-atoms tetrahedrally coordinated to oxygen atoms, where T can be AI, Si, or any other element capable of isomorphous substitution for Si. The unavail...
