Analysis of Cement and ASTM C114 Qualification

AppNote XRF3051: Analysis of Cement and ASTM C114 Qualification

Background

EDXRF is a simple analysis technique used in cement plants around the world. The technique is ideal for QA/QC throughout the cement production process. EDXRF can be used as a screening tool and a QA/QC analyzer to ensure proper quality of incoming feedstocks, raw meal mixture balances, the addition of gypsum, and throughout the manufacturing process, including analyzing alternative fuels and ULSD used for firing the kilns.

Rigaku NEX CG II complies with the performance required in ASTM C114 and makes an excellent backup analyzer to WDXRF or as the main analyzer when producing Portland cement..
