| Integrating XRF and XRD in Undergraduate Education: A Case Study on Spodumene Ore Analysis This presentation outlines the incorporation of advanced analytical methods, specifically X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), into the CHEM3101 undergraduate laboratory curriculum. By using spodumene ore as a case study, we demonstrate how students can effectively combine these techniques to determine elemental composition and structural phase purity, bridging the gap between academic learning and industrial applications in lithium processing. |
