Abstract
A combined selective dissolution/quantitative X-ray diffraction (QXRD) approach is proposed for the quantitative mineralogical phase analysis of hydraulic limes. The proposed methodology is validated by the analysis of two model mixtures. Afterwards two commercial hydraulic binders and one self-burned hydraulic quicklime were analysed. Chemical, thermal and microprobe analyses were performed to check the results. It is shown that the proposed selective dissolution/QXRD approach yields reliable quantitative mineralogical information for hydraulic limes in spite of their complex phase composition and the presence of amorphous material.
