In XRD data of dried iron ore pellets with binders and iron ore, It shows Quartz and Hematite for same peak. What does it signify ????
Hello Sukh Brahma Reddy, that means that both reference patterns (Hematite and Silicon Oxide) have lines at these positions which are matching your measured scan.
Unfortunately, the display of reference lines is switched off in your graphics, so we can't judge how intense the belonging reference pattern lines are.
It could be that there is just a tiny amount of Silicon Oxide and a tiny line of it but the majority of the area of the peak stems from Hematite. See attached graphics which shows that both reference patterns have lines at the same positions.
Hi Sukh Brahma Reddy
The XRD diffraction pattern originates from the crystal structure of the compounds and its lines (Diffusions) are related to the distance between the crystal plates. When your sample lines are exactly like the standard sample, it is means crystallized in exactly the same phase.
But for two different patterns, such as hematite and quartz, which may have one or more lines with the same position, the same lines only indicate that both have plates with equal distances.
