Abstract
Optical spectrogram and optical characteristic parameters of six kinds of asbestos standard products were established by polarizing microscope to analyze the asbestos fiber, and utilized horizon estimation to get the semi-quantitative asbestos content in the samples. The sample had been observed form, refractive index, interference color, dispersion, ductility, color, pleochroism, cleavage, contour lines, bumps, rough, baker characteristics under different refractive index of oiled, to compare with standard optical spectra and characteristic parameters. Comparison between the situation of asbestos fiber particles and the standard map of mineral chips in the field of view, the percentage of asbestos fibers in the sample is estimated. The results showed that this method is accurate, simple and fast.
