Conclusions
A method was developed for determining the amount of phases in specimens containing crystalline constituents of silica. The method is based on measuring the relationship between the x-ray diffraction lines and the concentration of the phases using an independent, external standard. The average error in the measurement of the amount of crystalline phases is ∼2–3% with a sensitivity of ∿0.5% for quartz and 1–2% for cristobalite and tridymite.
Measuring the concentration of each phase with two independent lines tends to increase the accuracy of the analysis, which enables us to control the determination and increase its accuracy.
