- ‘Major’ and ‘Minor’ refer to the intensity of crystalline peaks in the XRD patterns, which only reflects their relative abundance, and does not reflect the abundance of these compounds relative to the wood material or other amorphous components. ‘Major’ patterns showed intense, clearly defined peaks, such as those seen in Figs. 1 and 2. ‘Minor’ patterns generally appeared as small peaks that were difficult to distinguish from the baseline, relative to the more intense ‘major’ pattern, but could be unambiguously identified as the assigned compound using the software and were consistent with elemental compositions observed by SEM–EDS. Chemical formulae for minerals: K-alum = KAl(SO4)2·12H2O; NH4-alum = NH4Al(SO4)2·12H2O; alunite = KAl3(SO4)2(OH)6; gypsum = CaSO4·2H2O; syngenite = K2Ca(SO4)2·H2O; mercallite = KHSO4
