Characterization of Pozzolans to Use as Supplementary Cementitious Material in Concrete Through X-ray Diffraction
The most common approach for qualitative analysis of distinct phases of a material is X-Ray Diffraction analysis (XRD). This paper assesses the suitability of a material to be used as a supplementary cementitious material in the production of concrete. Different test procedures such as pozzolanic reactivity, can be used to determine the suitability of material to use as a pozzolan in concrete production. Microstructural aspect like x-ray diffraction is one such parameter which serves the same purpose qualitatively. This paper investigates the suitability aspects of mining waste like slime, kimberlite and clay dust using x-ray diffractometer through phase identification, crystallinity, and crystal lattice structure. These findings indicate kimberlite and clay dust can be employed as pozzolans which exist in orthorhombic and primitive cells of phases such as chrysolite, quartz, and alumina oxide.
