Abstract

Neutron powder diffraction data from phase-pure cement compounds has been used to develop structural models suitable for profile refinement of cements. These models were then applied to the determination of cement compound phase abundance in clinkers. This paper reports on the results of clinker phase analysis by powder neutron diffraction and summarizes the results of the refinements of neutron diffraction data from phase-pure cement compounds. The profile refinements provide generally good agreement with cement compound phase abundance measurements of NIST reference clinker specimens by chemical, optical and X-ray methods.
