elphick.geomet.utils.components.is_compositional

elphick.geomet.utils.components.is_compositional(candidates, strict=True)

Check if a list of candidates are compositional components (elements or oxides) :type candidates: List[str] :param candidates: list of string candidates :type strict: bool :param strict: If True, the candidates must be in the list of known compositional components (elements or oxides) :param as chemical symbols.:

Return type:

Union[List[str], Dict[str, str]]

Returns:

If strict, a list of compositional components, otherwise a dict of the original candidates (keys) and their compositional component symbols (values)
