Introduction
Introduction
GB/T 36923-2018 "Pearl Powder Identification Method X-ray Diffraction Analysis Method" stipulates the terms and definitions, principles, detection methods and result judgment of pearl powder identification using X-ray diffraction analysis technology. This standard is mainly applicable to the qualitative identification of freshwater pearl powder, and provides a scientific basis for ensuring the product quality of the cosmetics industry and related fields.
Background of Standardization
This standard is under the jurisdiction of the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Flavors and Fragrances and Cosmetics, and was jointly drafted by a number of companies and universities. The background of its formulation is that pearl powder is widely used in the cosmetics, health care products and other industries, but there is a phenomenon of adulteration of shell powder and other impurities in the market. In order to protect the rights and interests of consumers and regulate the market order, this standard came into being.
Technical Principle
X-ray diffraction analyzer detects the differences in the crystal structure of pearl powder and its possible doping substances to achieve qualitative and quantitative analysis. The change of calcite phase content before and after heat treatment is used to distinguish pearl powder from shell powder. The following are the specific detection steps:
- Instrument preparation: Use Bragg/Bretano ray geometry powder X-ray diffractometer or equivalent performance instrument.
- Sample pretreatment: Grind the pearl powder sample to 300 mesh and pass it through a sieve.
- Measurement at room temperature: Perform θ/2θ scanning to obtain the full diffraction spectrum.
- Measurement after heat treatment: XRD analysis is performed again after the sample is treated at high temperature.
- Data analysis: Calculate the calcite phase content through Rietveld full spectrum fitting quantitative analysis software.
Comparison of standard frameworks
| Dimensions | GB/T 36923—2018 | Related industry standards | Comparison of international standards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope of application | Qualitative identification of freshwater pearl powder | Only applicable to cosmetic raw material testing | No relevant international standards |
| Technical requirements | Calcite phase content ≤4% | No specific indicators are specified | Similar to ASTM E1582-16 but more detailed |
| Determination method | Quantitative + qualitative combined analysis | Single phase qualitative analysis | No clear comparison |
Implementation suggestions
Application case
A cosmetics company purchased a batch of pearl powder raw materials and tested them according to this standard. The results showed that the calcite phase content was 3%, which was determined to be a qualified product. However, in subsequent batches, the calcite phase content reached 5%, and the product was immediately returned to avoid product quality risks.
Implementation suggestions
- Instrumentation: Equipped with high-performance XRD instrument and calibrated regularly.
- Staff training: Conduct systematic training for testing personnel to master standard operating procedures.
- Quality control: Establish an internal quality control system to ensure data accuracy.
- Risk warning: Regularly sample products on the market to detect adulteration in a timely manner.
