I think that if you have normalised wt% (or you're sure that all phases are identified and you get a total of 100 wt%) then you can divide each wt% by the phase density and renormalise.
If you have an unidentified phase then it is not really practicable as you would have to estimate (or guess in the worst case) it's density before using the above method, leading to unknowable error margins. I think the above is correct. I remember looking at this problem once to try rationalising XRD and thin section point-counting data, but that was many years ago. Best Regards, Mike Andrews.
