a

The relative error of the EDS method is ranging between 10.0 and 20.0% for minor elements.28

b

Calculated from the equations where nAg+ = 10 × nAg+/(nCa2+ + nAg+).

c

Calculated from the equations where nCa2+/nP5– = (nCa2+ + nAg+)/nP5–.

d

Calculated from the equations where nF = 2 × nF/4.8%.
