Extract

In quantitative x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the reference intensity ratio (ki or RIR) is one of the most important parameters of the reference intensity method (RIM). The ki is a function of the intensity of x-ray reflection and the mass attenuation coefficient of the sample for the “Lki” method (Davis, 1992). The intensities for 00l reflections have been calculated, and also the reference intensity ratios corresponding to the 001 reflection have been estimated in this part of the work, which is very important for investigating the iron influence on the XRD analysis of smectites. The Reynolds’ proposed glycol-expanded montmorillonite structure was used as a basis for the calculations.
