This is the most common technique for identifying the crystalline phases in cement. It can be used to quantify the amount of each phase present.
This technique measures the weight loss of a sample as it is heated. It can be used to quantify the amount of water, CO2, and other volatile compounds present in cement.
This technique measures the vibrational frequencies of the atoms in a molecule. It can be used to identify the presence of specific functional groups in cement, such as Si-O, Al-O, and Ca-O.
This technique measures the magnetic properties of atoms in a molecule. It can be used to identify the chemical environment of specific atoms in cement.
