Clay Analysis II - ICDD InSession Webinar

“Clay Analysis II”
Speaker: Anja Dosen

Clays and clay minerals are commonly found in sedimentary rocks and soil. Clays have been used for centuries and are found in ceramic and building materials, catalysts, health and beauty products, nanomaterials and nanocomposites, air filters, etc.

Clay minerals are layer silicates with variable amounts of calcium, iron, magnesium, alkali metals, and other cations. Differences in structural arrangement result in different groups of clay minerals. Due to both similarity and structural diversity, clay minerals are difficult to identify. Powder XRD remains one of the major tools in their identification.

In this webinar, you will see examples of clay analysis using the carefully curated clay subfile in the PDF-5+ database. We will show the possibilities for the identification of both oriented and unoriented samples and the modeling of oriented clays using Jade.
