Quantitative Determination of Calcite-dolomite-apatite Mixtures by X-ray Diffraction

S. H. Bromberger, John B. Hayes

ABSTRACT

The constant-angular-velocity method of measuring integrated intensities of X-ray reflections was used to prepare working curves for quantitative X-ray analysis of calcite-dolomite-apatite mixtures. The calcite to dolomite curve is compared with previously published curves constructed from other X-ray counting procedures. To the best of our knowledge, working curves for apatite to dolomite and apatite to calcite analyses are herein presented for the first time. Advantages of the method include rapidity and precision. Sources of error are judged to be of minor importance.
