Unlock the power of X-ray diffraction (XRD) in cement analysis and discover how advanced materials science is driving sustainability in construction
Cement production accounts for approximately 8% of global CO₂ emissions, making innovation in this sector vital to global decarbonization efforts. This eBook, Cementing Sustainability with Materials Analysis Solutions, explores how XRD is transforming cement manufacturing by optimizing processes, improving product quality, and reducing environmental impact.
Inside the eBook, you’ll learn how XRD helps to:
- Identify
and quantify mineralogical phases such as alite, belite, and gypsum
- Measure
amorphous content critical to cement hydration and strength
- Monitor
polymorphs and phase changes during curing
- Optimize
clinker, hydraulic cements, and supplementary cementitious materials
- Enhance
the use of metakaolin and natural pozzolans for decarbonized cement
Who should read this?
