XRF Cement Analyzer
The XRF analysis of cement solves the problem of element analysis quickly, without destruction, and with high accuracy. The XRF can drastically improve the cement production process in each stage: at the quarry to evaluate the raw materials, to assess intermediate products, and to check resulting products to the required standards. Thus XRF can provide high productivity of cement production.
A sample of cement is irradiated with x-ray light that excites atoms in this sample. The atoms emit electromagnetic waves of vision range when they return to their own basic state. The emission of light when the elements return to an excited state is distinctive to the particular elements present and the fluorescence detection makes it possible to calculate the chemical composition of the sample precisely.
The XRF analysis of cement is fast, convenient, simple, and nondestructive.
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is the universal method for elemental analysis. It combines simple enough procedures and correspondingly cheap equipment. Also, it provides fast and accurate results. Thus, x-ray fluorescence (XRF analysis) in cement analysis is the most convenient, easier, and suitable elemental analysis method in thecement industry.
In cement plants, XRF for cement analysis is used routinely and it is the primary way to control the composition of the raw material, the raw feed, as well as clinker and actually cement. This method provides rapid compositional data for controlling almost all stages of production and is also used for assessing and quality control of the final product.
