Thank you very much.
My lump samples of 6-15mm contain cracks of even 1-2mm here and there throughout the volume of the sample and thus the sample has a wide pore size distribution. I just wanted to know, if there is one such XRD equipment available at all for analysing it as lump sample...
I want to characterise a coal char particle of size 6 to 15 mm using XRD. I am aware of powder XRD being done. But I want to subject the sample as it is as a lump particle. Is any such XRD possible. Will the XRD results of lumped sample differ from that of the powder sample? Please explain...
