The goal of this project is to develop a portable system for determining the mineralogical composition of aggregates in the field for quality control. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), which involves firing a laser pulse at a sample to determine its composition from light spectra emitted and interpreted using a spectrometer and a custom program, was chosen to be the basis of the portable system.
