Minerals characterization
Setaram thermal analyzers and calorimeters enable in-depth study of mineral materials, assessing their composition, crystalline structure and the phase changes they undergo. These techniques are essential for understanding the properties of materials, identifying their transformation points and assessing their stability.
Thermal analysis for mineral materials
If you’re studying mineral materials, your main objective may be to identify their added value or determine their best applications, such as in the field of building materials. By better understanding the characteristics of materials through thermal analysis, you can maximize their potential and adapt them to specific industrial applications.

Compositional analysis
You can use a simple TGA, STA or DSC test procedure to get information about the composition of minerals. This helps determine a mineral’s economic value (carbonates, silicates or clays). It can also identify components that can affect the end products’ processing or marketability.
