The chemical composition of cement plays a crucial role in the determination of its properties as a binder substance. The chemical analysis of cement components is widely used in the cement industry for production optimization and stable high-quality assurance of the final product. High requirements for cement quality are formed by its usage in the fabrication of concrete - the most consumed material in the building industry. In cement plants, XRF for cement analysis is used routinely and it is the primary way to control the composition of the raw material, the raw feed, as well as clinker and actually cement. This method provides rapid compositional data for controlling almost all stages of production and is also used for assessing and quality control of the final product. The XRF analysis of cement solves the problem of element analysis quickly, without destruction, and with high accuracy. The XRF can drastically improve the cement production process in each stage: at the quarry to evaluate the raw materials, to assess intermediate products, and to check resulting products to the required standards. Thus XRF can provide high productivity of cement production.
