SILVER
MEMBRANES BENEFIT OIL EXPLORATION USING XRD
Kent, Washington (October
2005) - Sterlitech silver metal membranes are used by clay
mineralogists to identify and analyze clay samples from potential
drilling sites. The membranes provide a superior surface for
the analysis of clay minerals using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD).
Silver membranes provide
precise and quick preparation of clay samples, requiring a
small sample size compared to other mounting techniques. There
is excellent transparency with the use of silver membranes
in the analysis of clay minerals, due to the low level of
background noise and distinct silver diffraction peaks. These
distinct peaks, at 38º and 46º, permit easy calculation
of absorption correction, allowing for accurate quantitative
analysis.
Additional benefits
of the Silver Membrane include a high temperature tolerance
(550ºC), a superb chemical resistance, good electrical
conductivity, strength of the membrane, and ease in handling.
Information
