A Comparative study of particle size dependency of IR and XRD methods for quartz analysis / Ragula Bhaskar, Jianliang Li, Lijun Xu

Sumario: Quartz (SiO2) is considered a probable carcinogen. In order to enforce health and safety standards, techniques that can accurately determine the quartz content of materials are necessary. Currently, two techniques dominate quartz analysis - the infrared (IR) spectrophotometry method and the X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Unfortunately, there are problems associated with these techniques, such as sample preparation and particle size effect. This study focuses on particle size effect on quartz determination by both IR and XRD. Seven size groups of pure quartz samples, with mean diameters from 1,5 to 20 microns, were used
