SEM and XRD Identification of Mineral Chinese Medicine Alumen,Calcined Alumen,and Their Processed Products
and the processed product of ammonium alum is a common counterfeits of calcined Alumen. This paper aims to establish a method for identifying Alumen
calcined Alumen
ammonium alum and their processed products.
Method:
2
The samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X ray diffraction (XRD) in this paper.
Result:
2
Ammonium alum and Alumen showed obvious changes in morphology after processing. Both Alumen and ammonium alum showed obvious differences in morphology at ×250 and ×1 000 times microscope. Alumen presented irregular fragments
clear edge corners
smooth surface
scattered irregular small particles
occasional holes and longitudinal edges. Ammonium alum presented irregular clumps
blunt edges
not obvious edges and corners
uneven surface
scattered smaller and round-like particles. The difference in morphology was not obvious at ×250 times microscope between Alumen and ammonium alum processed products. While at ×1 000 times
the surface of calcined Alumen was uneven with coarse particles; the surface of counterfeit calcined Alumen was flat
and the coarse particle characteristics were not obvious. XRD can be used to rapidly and accurately identify the primary phase of Alumen
