A Beginner’s Guide to Thermogravimetric Analysis
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a pivotal technique in the realm of thermal analysis. It provides invaluable insights into the thermal stability, composition, and decomposition kinetics of materials. By measuring the mass of a sample as it’s subjected to varying temperature ranges, TGA offers a comprehensive view of material behavior under thermal stress. For those diving into the world of materials characterization, understanding TGA is paramount.
The Essence of TGA Analysis
At its core, TGA is a method that tracks the change in mass of a sample as it’s heated or cooled in a controlled environment. This change in sample weights ...
Why use grinding aids with your hydraulic press?
A hydraulic press creates samples of bulk materials through compression. These discs and pellets can be used in X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) sample preparation to understand the material’s quality and what elements are present.
To continuously reproduce and maintain your results during XRF and ICP spectrometry, you need to focus on your sample preparation before it is used in the pressing equipment. Grinding aids can enhance the effectiveness of grinding during the pelletising process to ensure the pellet or disc sample has the right size distribution of particles.
It is important that you use the best grinding aid when you create your sample. That way you can enhance its homogeneity and decrease the likelihood of sample contamination fro...
How Pelletizing reagents enhance compacting performance
In the mining industry, the accuracy of analytical results is paramount. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is a widely accepted method for determining the elemental composition of mineral samples. However, the quality of the sample preparation method can significantly influence the accuracy of the XRF analysis. Enter Pelletizing reagents, which have emerged as a game-changer in enhancing compacting performance, ensuring that samples for analysis are of the highest quality.
The Importance of Sample Preparation for XRF Analysis
Before diving into the role of Pelletizing in the XRF sample preparation process, it’s essential to understand the ...
