Abstract

Cement is a soft bond material that hardens and acquires its mechanical properties in the presence of water; it is an industrial product that has many uses, including its use in construction, roads, bridges, and others. It is important in our life to know its components. In this study, a laser-induced breakdown spectrometer was used to detect the elements present in a sample of Sudanese mas cement. In this technique, a high-energy laser is applied to the surface of the sample, ionizing the atoms of the material and then evaporating it, and then producing hot plasma on the surface of the sample, and this plasma is analyzed with a spectrometer, and thus the components of the sample can be known. The laser source used in this study is (Nd: YAG). Delay times are one of the factors affecting the intensity of the libs signal, To determine the relationship between laser delay times and LIBS signal intensity, a mas cement sample was irradiated with 32mj laser pulse energy and (200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 1000, 2000) nanoseconds delay times. We observed a decrease in the LIBS signal with increasing laser delay times. For quantitative analysis, the plasma temperature and electron density at (300, 500 and 700) laser delay times at 32mj laser pulse energy were calculated using standard equations and well-resolved spectral lines for Ca in the region of (422.67, 430.25 and 430.774) nm. It has been observed that when the delay time increases, the plasma temperature decreases and the electron density decrease. It was found that the density of electrons is directly proportional to the temperature of the plasma.
