Description:
The aim of this work is to show commonly used procedures and methods for limestone analysis. The samples were measured with Inductively Coupled Plasma with Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) for chemical compositions determination. For these measurements, the samples were decomposed by dissolving in acid, melting into solution and decomposed by microwave. Due to the time and financial demands of these analyses, there were an effort how to find a satisfactory method providing sufficient results with less time and financial demands. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) method was first tested, followed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). Samples were measured in powder and melted into pearls. The evaluation was carried out by using of the Fundamental parameters method and by means of instrument calibration. The method of combustion elemental analysis was selected to determine of the sulfur content.
