I am doing quantitative phase analysis of my hydrated cement paste sample at 7 day of curing. I have identified the following phases:
Calcite, Larnite, Alite, Portlandite, Ettringite and Gypsum
but i'm not 100% sure if I have identified all the phases. I have attached the XRD file in .raw format. The data was collected at Brukers D4 Endevor with the following settings:
Cu ka Anode, Stepsize 0.013 deg, time per step 1 sec, 40 Kv and 40 mA
The elemental composition of the ordinary Portland cement is:
CaO = 62.9%
SiO2 = 19.9%
Al2O3 = 4.6%
Fe2O3 = 3.2%
MgO = 2.1%
SO3 = 2.8%
LOI = 2.8%
Hello Rajeev, I can't see the data - I think you may have loaded it as an image instead of a file?
Thanks for your reply Ian,
I did try to upload the .raw file but for some reason it doesn't show up. I'll email you my file, I think I have got your email, you helped me with XRD queries, previously as well.
Thanks a lot Ian for resolving my query, I highly appreciate your help
I can put you in touch with a friend of mine hat can, Tim Murphy of Mineralogy. [email protected] Make sure that you mention my name.
