Difração de Raios‑X (DRX): Desvende a estrutura cristalina dos seus materiais
CRC Team – Center for Ceramic Materials Services The chemical composition of a material or mineral is only part of the story. The way atoms organize themselves into crystalline, vitreous, and amorphous phases is what truly defines properties such as strength, reactivity, color, and stability. One of the most advanced tools we use at […]
BET and BJH: Essential Tools for Characterizing Porosity and Reactivity
CRC Team – Ceramic Materials Service Center A material’s performance, reactivity, and quality are defined by its surface. But do you truly know the surface properties of your products and raw materials? The gas adsorption technique (BET method) is the gold standard for quantifying the specific surface area ($m^2/g$) of a material. Complementarily, the analysis […]
Maximizing Mineral Value: CRC’s Analytical and Technological Solutions for Adding Value to the Rare Earth Supply Chain in Brazil
CRC Team – Ceramic Coatings Center In the current geopolitical landscape, Rare Earth Elements (REE) and critical metals represent the future of technology and the energy transition. They are fundamental components for electric vehicle motors, permanent magnets, catalysts, and high-tech products. Brazil, holding the world’s second-largest REE reserves, is at the heart of this revolution; […]
