Dear Mario, Please tell me a little about the data collection conditions you used for this work:-
How was the sample prepared (hand ground, micronised in McCrone mill ????) What was the tube target Cu, Co, other ??

When I add to the mixture FeCO3 and I refine with preferential orientation (104), it happens that when I don´t apply the preferential orientation in all this phases, I have correct values of percentage composition, but when I apply the preferential orientation the refinement is good but with incorrect values of percentage composition. This experiment has been taken in Bragg Brentano geometry. How I should refine this mixture? Thanks a lot by your help. Mario Macías Universidad Industrial de Santander Colombia
