Analysis of raw mix samples prepared as pressed powders

This application note shows that the Epsilon 3^X is capable of analyzing major and minor compounds like Na₂O, MgO, Al₂O₃, SiO₂, SO₃, K₂O, CaO, TiO₂ and Fe₂O₃ in rawmix samples prepared as pressed powders.

In cement industry the composition of the input material plays a very important role in the production process and in the quality of the end product. XRF analysis is a useful tool of controlling the composition of the raw material.
