Extract

Several factors have long been known to affect the intensity measurements of X-ray powder diffraction. The characterization of these effects has been impeded by difficulties in their isolation and the statistical nature of the data in which they manifest themselves. The most celebrated, and most detrimental, of the these effects is that of preferred orientation. This error can be eliminated with the spherical agglomeration of the sample (1). The spray drying process offers this result and is considered to have the broadest range of applicability to materials encountered by the powder diffractionist.
