Abstract
To calibrate infrared (IR) spectroscopy for quantitative analysis of trace structural OH in specific minerals, we have determined concentrations of H in pure separates of mantle derived pyrope garnet (56 ± 6 ppm H_2O by weight), augite (268 ± 8, ppm H_2O, and enstatite (217 ± 11 ppm H_2O) by manometry after heating the samples and extracting H_2 gas under vacuum. IR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of intrinsic OH in these samples prior to extraction and indicated between 86 and 100% removal of H during the extraction procedure. The integral specific absorption coefficients of 1.39 ± 0.14(lσ),7.09 ± 0.32, and 15.6 ± 0.94 /(ppm H_2O.cm^2) for pyrope, augite, and enstatite, respectively, allow precise spectroscopic determination of the OH content of upper mantle garnets and pyroxenes to concentration levels of a few parts per million. Uncertainties in accuracy depend on mineral composition and characteristics of the OH absorption spectrum and are estimated to range between ± 10 and ± 50%.
