AMCS Particle Mode Analysis

Experimental:1. One view at 500 x magnification.2. View width: 228 microns3. Field width in pixels: 5124. Resolution: 0.45 microns per pixel5. Time used: 9min 32 seconds6. Zeiss Gemini SEM with one Bruker EDS detector

Results:

Notes: 1. The K-feldspar_Others is a mixture phase, containing other minerals, including illite,

kaolinite and fine quartz. We have not been able to do necessary de-convolution to separate them.

2. Dolomite_others phase is also a mixture, containing dolomite and potentially other clay minerals.

3. The porosity is calculated from image grey level.
