Respected geoscientist
I want to know, how we can recalculate the major oxides data to 100% without the LOI or free volatile basis.
The rock types are peridotites, and the LOI values of 5.74 to 14.06

Not sure why on earth you would want to do this given that the main component of LOI is likely to be moisture. Thus the proportions of the oxides should not change with moisture loss. How are you conducting your analyses for elements - XRF?

The data was extracted from the XRF method. Especially my question is about major oxides to 100% on a volatile-free basis (without LOI). Though I have gone through a method, which I think is good to find major oxides to 100% without LOI.
The formula is that:
Oxide value*100/Total oxide without LOI
