ANALYSIS OF OCEAN-FLOOR SOIL SAMPLES BY X-RAY DIFFRACTOMETRY AND INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY.

Abstract

Because of the special problems of analyzing ocean-floor soils, procedures were devised and experiments were made to test the suitability of using X-ray diffractometry supplemented by infrared spectroscopy for identifying the constituents of core samples. The results indicate that the techniques are effective means of identification. X-ray diffraction records and infrared spectra of selected core samples are presented, and experimental data are tabulated and analyzed in light of reference data for minerals most likely to be found in ocean-floor soils. The principal d-spacings and infrared absorption bands are provided as a basis for the identifications. (Author)
