ENVIRONMENTAL REFUGEES: CLIMATE CHANGE AND INTERNATIONAL LIABILITY

The technique of X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been widely used for the determination of crystalline phases in rocks with ornamental purposes and / or application as construction inputs, allowing the investigation of tiny structures of matter. Based on this principle, the XRD method to characterize one or more minerals in the rock. The mineralogical characterization describes what minerals are present in the sample, made by comparing their diffraction patterns with reference standards available in DRX databases, noting the most intense peaks of each crystalline compound present in the database and comparing the peaks the XRD patterns of the sample to be observed then the main existing in rock minerals. This research aims to show the minerals present in the structure of the material and then analyze possible industrial applications of this material. This study describes an easy and reliable method for determining overall characteristics of granite Blue Sucuru through the technique of diffraction X-rays to observe the presence of mineral ironmagnesian in its structure, being subject to susceptibility to oxidation processes, potentiated in humid atmospheres. Therefore, from the DRX allows the identification of the major minerals (whereas microscopy has not been able to identify certain minerals, but their groups), this being a method that can be considered complementary to the mineralogical characterization of rocks. From the results obtained it is intended to verify the existence of cordierite this material, which enhances the blue color of the examined rock, besides the minerals present in the gravel of the material powder, providing a possible application in the construction industry and as an ornamental rock and coating.
