Abstract Problems associated with intermittent and variable degrees of sample blackening are often reported for studies involving the preparation of CO2-bearing silicate glasses in piston- cylinder apparatus. This phenomenon is generally attributed to H infiltration, which leads to the reduction of CO2 and the precipitation of graphite with the concomitant formation of water. In this study we demonstrate that carbon diffusion into platinum capsules may be a common cause of blackened glasses and this process may be detected using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify the presence of CO without elevated H2O contents. The simulated infiltration of 12C from a graphite furnace into a 13C -bearing sample is illustrated using secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and micro- FTIR analysis. Careful FTIR monitoring of variable sample reduction has helped to identify the precautions required to reduce C (and H) infiltration in solid media assemblies and it appears that physical barriers can be more important than the chemical buffers traditionally employed.
