Quantitative XRD (QXRD) analysis of coal combustion by-products (CCBs) and their hydration products is not straightforward. CCBs typically include large numbers of crystalline phases and substantial amorphous content. Many CCB phases have varying levels of crystalline order and solid solution.

- Angles are used to calculate the interplanar atomic spacings (d-
spacings). Because every crystalline material will give a characteristic
diffraction pattern and can act as a unique ‘fingerprint', the position (d)
and intensity (I) information are used to identify the type of material by
comparing them with patterns for over 80,000 data entries in the
International Powder Diffraction File (PDF) database, complied by the
Joint Committee for Powder Diffraction Standards (JCPDS). By this
method, identification of any crystalline compounds, even in a complex
sample, can be made. - The position (d) of diffracted peaks also provides information about
how the atoms are arranged within the crystalline compound (unit cell
size or lattice parameter). The intensity information is used to assess
the type and nature of atoms. Determination of lattice parameter helps
understand extent of solid solution (complete or partial substitution of
one element for another, as in some alloys) in a sample. - Width of the diffracted peaks is used to determine crystallite size and
micro-strain in the sample. - The ‘d' and ‘I' from a phase can also be used to quantitatively estimate
the amount of that phase in a multi-component mixture.
