Utilizing NIPGA, an experimental device for cement raw material analysis has been developed, with a 2.5 MeV D-D neutron generator, BGO detector and 2048 MCA. A linear regression was developed for calculating the data. A 6-month on-site application of the system showed that the CaO, SiO₂, Fe₂O₃ and Al₂O₃ analysis results agreed well with chemical analysis, within 0.40%, 0.40%, 0.50% and 0.50%, respectively.
