Overview - ResearchResearcher preparing x-ray diffraction machine. Using x-ray diffraction to solve minerals processing problemsCSIRO Minerals is using in-situ and on-line x-ray diffraction analysis to examine various aspects of minerals processing. On-line mineralogy via continuous x-ray diffraction (XRD)Page 5 of 6 Commercial version of an on-line powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) analyser. The data from the on-line XRD can be used for dynamic plant control and product quality control. The Australian cement industry has incorporated the on-line XRD analyser to accurately measure the composition and mineralogy of finished cement in real time. As well as providing quick and accurate information for the cement industry, on-line XRD analysis has potential uses in other areas including: Share this CSIRO content using: |
| | Fast facts - X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used to identify the minerals and crystalline phases present in geological speciments and processed materials
- CSIRO has a long and successful history in applying XRD techniques to find solutions for scientific and industrial problems
- In-situ XRD allows the laboratory-scale examination of mineral processing reactions under operating conditions, which is useful in determining reaction mechanisms and kinetics
- On-line and in-plant XRD analysis can be used for dynamic plant control and quality control of industrial processing streams
