In this interview, Murielle Goubard, the Global Sector Manager for Building Materials at Malvern Panalytical, talks to AZoMaterials about sustainable challenges in the cement industry. How does your work relate to cement development and production? My main job is to help our customers solve their current concerns, as well as address the new and future challenges facing their industry. Among ...

In the past quality control in a cement plant was performed on samples delivered to the laboratory for measurement. The results were reported back hours, or even days, later. Due to this delay, the data had limited value for process control. More recently, on-line and at-line instrumentation have enabled rapid analysis and feedback, supporting significantly improved process control. As cement ...

Matteo Pernechele & Murielle Goubard, Malvern Panalytical, explain the pivotal role X-ray diffraction technology has to play in making green cement a reality. Sustainability is an increasingly important priority in the cement sector. Despite challenges such as higher fuel prices, the scarcity of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), and water and electricity regulations, there are ...

Precision is critical in the wafer fabrication process. The crystal tolerances of wafers and ingots are now being revolutionized by the most recent developments in crystal orientation measuring equipment. Furthermore, by facilitating exact orientation transfer to grinding and slicing, these sophisticated technologies not only monitor the quality of the most recent process completed but also ...

Jar testing is a common laboratory procedure used at water and wastewater treatment plants to determine optimum conditions for the coagulation / flocculation process. In a set of beakers a defined amount of water is mixed with varying amounts of coagulant, and through observation by a trained operator the optimal amount of coagulant can be determined. ​While jar testing is straight forward ...

The cement and concrete industry are bringing innovative solutions and are adapting the latest processes and ingredients to shift towards greater sustainability. By adopting the right analytical strategy cement producers can bring carbon neutral cement within reach of the construction industry.

At our Future Days Additive Manufacturing event, we were delighted to welcome Professor Ian Gibson from the University of Twente, a renowned expert who has been instrumental in the technology’s development. Ian discusses current challenges, what the future holds for AM, and why effective quality assurance remains pivotal as the field continues to evolve.
