Extract

In smectite analyses, the investigation of the attenuation contribution to quantitative x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis is a most important topic, including Fe content and distribution. This is the first part of a comprehensive study on smectite analysis addressing the nature and location of Fe atoms within the octahedral sites, interlayer regions, and intergranular interfaces. This first paper treats the mass attenuation measurements and calculations (Davis and Johnson, 1987). Additional reports will be made in the future on Fe studies involving measured and calculated reference intensity ratio measurements and structural studies based on SEM and TEM analysis.
