Estimation of purity of chrysotile asbestos by X-ray diffractometry/Rietveld refinement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
X-ray powder diffractometry/Rietveld refinement was employed to estimate the purity of several chrysotile powders for calibrating standards. α-Corundum powder was mixed into each chrysotile sample as an internal standard. X-ray diffractometry was performed on these mixtures, and the mass fractions of amorphous and impurity phase content were calculated using Rietveld refinement. The chrysotile samples had 56.7-92.0% crystalline purity. X-ray diffraction intensities of chrysotile (002) from the samples showed good correlation with the crystalline purity data. In differential thermal analysis results, the exothermal peak intensities were found to be directly proportional to crystalline contents for crystalline purity lower than 80%. Any chrysotile sample can be used as a standard material for quantitative determination upon correction of the crystalline purity, which can be estimated using the proposed method.

Preparation and evaluation of a chrysotile asbestos-containing standard material for validating x-ray diffractometric quantitation.
A standard material containing chrysotile asbestos for the validation of x-ray diffractometric quantitation was developed using an asbestos-containing building material i.e., perlite board. The board as the base material was crushed, pulverized, and homogenized. The homogeneity of the powder of perlite board was estimated by analysis of variance. The diffraction intensity values of the crystall...

In 2007, research was carried out to determine the type and amount of asbestos fibers in a Croatian factory with a long history of making asbestos-containing products.Since the 1970s, asbestos fibres have been considered carcinogenic in humans i.e as a known cancer-causing agent. In the environment, asbestos fibres are inactive and naturally resist biodegradation. In time, fibres can only be gr...
