China is short of water seriously. But granulation of blast furnace slag (BFS) with water has many disadvantages, such as high water consumption and difficulty in heat recycling. So developing a new dry granulation technique to treat BFS is very important. The applicability of BFS directly depends on the content of non-crystalline solids in the slag after treatment. So it is of theoretical and practical significance to analyze the content of non-crystalline solids in the slag quantitatively and simply. Metallographical test is mainly adopted to quantify the non-crystalline in BFS now with the shortages such as making sample complexly, determining difficultly and personally. For the diffraction intensity of non-crystalline is proportionate to the content of non-crystalline in BFS, X-ray diffraction method was adopted to quantify the non-crystalline and the crystalline solids in BFS. The quantificational coefficient between the crystalline and the non-crystalline solids of BFS is 0.70 whose main composition is: w（CaO）38.2%，w（SiO2）35.7%，w（Al2O3）16.3%，w（MgO）8.3%. The relatively error of using X-ray diffraction instrument to quantitative analyse non-crystalline content of BFS is less than 1%.
