Mineral Identification and Elemental Analysis

The identification of the mineral phase was performed by XRD. The identification of the pulverized minerals was carried out with the Diffract.Eva v.7 software (Bruker, Bremen, Germany) and the PDF2 mineral database (https://www.icdd.com/, accessed on 26 July 2023) [54 (link)].
Concentrations of ions in volcanic rock samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) on a Perkin Elmer ELAN9000 ICP-MS quadrupole spectrometer, as in [42 (link)]. Values > 10 ppm were considered for the statistical tests.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
