AN OVERVIEW OF MINERALOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES EMPHASIZING APPLIED MICROSCOPY. As processing of geological and recycled materials becomes more complex due to environmental and economic limitations, resolving mineralogical interactions during and after processing becomes more critical. Several traditionally economic geology tools are applicable to characterizing materials mineralogically. These include X-ray diffraction, transmitted light microscopy, reflected light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy “TEM” redirects here. For other uses, see TEM (disambiguation). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is an imaging technique whereby a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen, then an image is formed, magnified and directed to appear either , and electron microprobe. Non-traditional techniques, including Auger electron spectroscopy Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) is a common analytical technique used specifically in the study of surfaces and, more generally, in the area of materials science. Underlying the spectroscopic technique is the Auger Effect, as it has come to be called, which is based on the , X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is a quantitative spectroscopic surface chemical analysis technique used to estimate the empirical formula or elemental composition, chemical state and electronic state of the elements on the surface (upto 10 nm) of a material. , Mossbauer spectroscopy, and cathodoluminescence Cathodoluminescence A luminescence resulting from the bombardment of a substance with an electron (cathode-ray) beam. The principal applications of cathodoluminescence are in television, computer, radar, and oscilloscope displays. microscopy, are also beneficial in determining mineralogical interactions of processed materials. Each of these techniques is summarized with an industrial application example of its usefulness, and how these techniques are best utilized wh en used in conjunction with one another. |
