Dear All
I have a carbonate rock and XRD analysis shows the type of minerals in it. but how can I measure the percentage of each mineral with XRD peaks?
May I recommend the so called Rietveld method.
The Rietveld method was originally developed by the Dutch physicist Hugo Rietveld (1932-2016) in 1966 for the crystal structure analysis of polycrystalline samples analogous to the Debye-Scherrer method using neutron radiation. It has also been used since 1977 for X-ray (XRD) examinations. Since the mid-1970s, the Rietveld method has also been used for the quantitative phase analysis, for the quantitative determination of the crystalline components of a powdery sample.
Best regards,
Guenter Grundmann

In my point of view Mineral percentage calculated through XRF analysis only
The highscore plus with PDF2 gives semi quantitative analysis, you can use also MAUD it's free
