The Possibility of Using Handheld Xrf in Cement Applications

نویسنده

  • Dr. Michelle Cameron
چکیده

Handheld XRF may become a useful and cost-saving tool in the cement industry, especially for measuring raw materials and making quick decisions in the field. Calibration methods are explained and results are presented for a Bruker S1 TURBOSD LE used to measure limestone and related materials used in the cement industry. Results are discussed for measurements of powders, pressed pellets, and unprepared rock samples. Variations in calibration assumptions are also discussed, which allow better tailoring of a calibration to measurement of different matrices.

Non-destructive Measurement of Calcium and Potassium in Apple and Pear Using Handheld X-ray Fluorescence

Calcium and potassium are essential for cell signaling, ion homeostasis and cell wall strength in plants. Unlike nutrients such as nitrogen and potassium, calcium is immobile in plants. Localized calcium deficiencies result in agricultural losses; particularly for fleshy horticultural crops in which elemental imbalances in fruit contribute to the development of physiological disorders such as b...

Influential Mechanisms and Potential Applications of Nano-Silicas in Cement Composites

Nanosilicas have been known as super-pozzolanic materials and compared to silica fume, these materials have higher purity of silica and finer particles. However, in contrast to silica fume, nanosilicas are produced by various methods, leading to different morphologies and agglomeration statuses in their initial form. On the other hand, due to several mechanisms such as the bridging effect of ca...
