Talc is a major ingredient in certain cosmetic products. If it contains quartz or other abrasive
minerals, it is unsuitable for cosmetic applications. Chemical analysis cannot differentiate
between SiO2 present as quartz and SiO2 present as talc. X-ray diffraction analysis is an easy and
reliable way to ascertain the presence and quantity of quartz. The peaks in the x-ray pattern below
reveal that a minor amount of quartz (brown), along with some chlorite (green), is present in the
talc (blue). Through special procedures and with the use of quartz and talc standards, the amount
of quartz can be quantitatively determined to levels of less than 1%.
In other industrial mineral applications, health hazards such as respirable silica and asbestos in
dust samples or products of commerce can be determined by x-ray diffraction. Crystallization
chemistry is a complex science used in the production of compounds ranging from table salt and
potash to borax and Epsom salts. Minute changes in the crystallization system can cause
significant changes in the product that may not be detectable by chemical analysis or microscopy.
One project required that we determine quickly whether the particles forming in a sodium
carbonate process were hydrated, anhydrous, or a mixture of the two. The pattern below was
obtained by x-ray diffraction analysis and showed the presence of both forms. This permitted us
to change the process to generate the desired product.
