Abstract: An x-ray diffraction system includes an x-ray source having a first interchangeable x-ray generating component, a second interchangeable x-ray generating component, an actuator and a controller operatively connected to the actuator. The first and second interchangeable x-ray generating components are interchangeable with one another. The actuator is operatively connected to the first and second interchangeable x-ray generating components. A method for non-destructive x-ray diffraction includes emitting a first x-ray beam from an x-ray source with a first interchangeable x-ray generating component based on a first desired depth to measure a crystallographic signature of a sample at the first desired depth, interchanging the first interchangeable x-ray generating component with a second interchangeable x-ray generating component to form a modified x-ray source, and emitting a second x-ray beam from the modified x-ray source based on a second desired depth, to non-destructively measure a crystallographic signature of the sample at the second desired depth.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating x-rays includes an electron beam generator and a first device arranged to apply an RF electric field to accelerate the electron beam from the generator. A photon source is arranged to provide photons to a zone to interact with the electron beam from the first device so as to generate x-rays via inverse-Compton scattering. A second device is arranged to apply an RF electric field to decelerate the electron beam after it has interacted. The first and second devices are connected by RF energy transmission means arranged to recover RF energy from the decelerated electron beam as it passes through the second device and transfer the recovered RF energy into the first device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of sorting coal into multiple fractions based upon x-ray absorption and size characteristics in order to remove rocks and other contaminants of various sizes from coal. The use of such dry processing of coal is desirable as it reduces pollution and transportation costs. The multi-fractional sorting of coal is a more efficient manner for identifying and removing rock and contaminants from coal.
