“…Approximately 80 million tons or 426 million barrels of Portland cement will be produced this year in the United States and Puerto Rico (I). Of this total, 44.4% will be produced in the Northeast, 11.2% will be produced in California, and another 11.0% will be produced in Texas (2). A problem common to many of these installations is the presence of a detached, high-opacity, persistent plume that emanates from the kiln stack (3).…”

X-ray diffractometry has been used to characterize particulate pollutant fallout from smelting operations in Missouri. An identification technique has been developed that needs only 1-15 mg of collected material from a Hi-Vol filter. Compound identification reveals changes in the toxic lead compounds after corrective action was taken in the manufacturing process. Typical diffraction patterns are provided.

“…A general problem with the powder X-ray diffraction method has been its relative insensitivity: thus it normally has not been suitable for low concentrations or, to a lesser extent, for very small samples. The need for a method to identify and analyze for components in airborne particulates has led to increased activity in the development of methods which would improve the sensitivity of the technique (17,145,207,232,266,379). One approach, which Miyazaki (244) has reported, is to use a minicomputer to accumulate multiple scans of the analytical line and to make the necessary intensity corrections.…”

This review presents a general overview of the field of X-ray diffraction with emphasis being on the directions in which applications and research in the areas of instrumentation, analysis, powder methods, topographic methods, determination of molecular structure, etc., have been going rather than presenting a comprehensive listing of all references in which X-ray diffraction was utilized. To do so would have been a formidable task as the use of X-ray diffraction methods in solving problems in chemistry, material sciences, geology, industry, etc., is extremely widespread, as becomes evident after even a rather superficial scan of the literature. This review covers the period of January 1972 through December 1973, mainly by the appearance of an abstract during this time, although several

“…Some researchers did the quantitative analysis by using either the full-pattern (Rietveld) method or RIR method. See for example [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Such studies are very useful for assessing the effective role of the identified phases as ice nuclei or condensation nuclei in natural clouds.…”

The mass concentrations of eighteen airborne samples collected from Lahore (Pakistan) are found in the range from 595 to 3027 μg/m 3 with average value of 1130 μg/m 3 . Most of these values are normal and as reported in the literature for other parts of the world. The major phases identified in the samples by the X-ray powder diffraction technique are Albite (Anorthite), Calcite, Clinochlore (Chlorite), Gypsum, Illite, Quartz and Talc which have also been reported by other researchers to be present in the airborne particulates of other world locations. The average weight percentages of the phases (minerals) in the samples are respectively 15.5, 10.6, 23.7, 2.4, 19.1, 20.2, and 8.5. Some of the elements (e.g., boron, cadmium, lithium, manganese, titanium, and zinc) quantified in two samples determined using a spark-source mass spectrometer appear also to derive their origin from man-made activities. However no compound synthesized in the atmosphere is detected by the X-ray diffraction method.
