text: However, if the apatite is partly carbonated (which is noticeable for instance from a broad (CO 3 ) absorption band in the region 1350–1570 cm−1), then the HPO 4 band at 875 cm−1 becomes almost superimposed with the (CO 3 ) band (around 872 cm−1 for B-type carbonate ions), making it difficult to exploit.
