X-ray-diffraction microstructural analysis was performed for corundum powders produced from Bayer aluminium hydroxides in different ways and for high purity corundum powders produced from other raw materials. Crystalline microstructure characterised by prevalent crystallite shape, volume-weighted crystallite size distribution and second-order crystalline lattice strain distribution was determined through modelling crystallite shapes as hexagonal prisms, with the resulting mean volume-weighted standardised crystallite size in the range 406-1941 Å, height-to-base-diagonal ratio in the range 0.68-0.94 and the mean-absolute second-order strain in the range 0.028-0.087%. Crystallite size distributions were found to be well approximated as bimodal logarithmic-normal ones and consequently four types of microstructure were recognized as depending on precursors and methods of production.

Kaolinite and montmorillonite are two clay minerals with different structures: dioctahedral 1:1 without layer charge and dioctahedral 2:1 with low layer charge. X-ray-diffraction microstructural analysis of two fractions of two reference clays (with kaolinite or montmorillonite) from the Clay Minerals Society Source Clay Repository were performed by the Voigt function method to provide microstructural data not available in the baseline studies of this Repository. A rough agreement was found between crystallite sizes determined from X-ray diffraction patterns and from images by field-emission scanning electron microscopy. In addition, the influence of swelling by ethylene-glycol on crystallite size was studied by the mentioned method. Two factors were found to affect the crystallite size variation in ethylene-glycol-treated clay minerals: (i) the increase of the unit cell in [001] direction due to the interlayer absorption of ethylene glycol molecules in the case of swelling minerals and (ii) the physisorption at the surfaces of the crystallites. Both effects operate in the case of montmorillonite, whereas just the latter one is expected in kaolinite.
