Extract

The use of preferentially oriented aggregate specimens of clay for X-ray diffraction has been widely adopted since its origination by Bradley, Grim and Clark (1937). It is an extremely useful technique giving greatly enhanced intensity of diffraction from the basal planes of platey minerals relative to that from the general planes; the amount of one particular clay mineral which can be identified in a mixture is very much less than by the normal powder method.
