Quantitative Mineralogical Analysis of Hydraulic Limes by X-ray Diffraction

A combined selective dissolution/quantitative X-ray diffraction (QXRD) approach is proposed for the quantitative mineralogical phase analysis of hydraulic limes. The proposed methodology is validated by analysis of 2 model mixtures. Afterwards 2 commercial hydraulic binders and 1 self-burned hydraulic quicklime were analyzed. Chemical, thermal, and microprobe analyses were performed to check the results. It is shown that the proposed selective dissolution/QXRD approach yields reliable quantitative mineralogical information for hydraulic limes in spite of their complex phase composition and the presence of amorphous material.
