Abstract:
For many years, chemical analyzes of hydrated lime samples have been carried out in accordance with the NBR 6473 standard at the Construction Materials Laboratory – Center for Infrastructure Technology of IPT. Typically, an average of 30 hours of a technician labor is required for the chemical characterization of a single lime sample. In order to achieve a reduction of the analysis time, the Laboratory selected the X-ray fluorescence spectrometry as an alternative methodology to be used as an optional method of the current Brazilian standard. This work presents the results obtained by X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, performed according to NBR 6473 of different types of lime as well as the results of tests of significance by t-Student analyzes. The feasibility of using this technique as an alternative method was confirmed because it provides a reduced analysis time, the possibility of the determination of other chemical elements and the elimination of chemical reagents.
