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 mantlederived pyrope garnet (56 + 6 ppm HrO by werght), augite (268 + 8, ppm HrO), and enstatite (217 + I I ppm HrO) by manometry after heating the samples and extracting H, gas under vacuum. IR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of intrinsic OH in these samples prior to extraction and indicated between 86 and l00o/o removal of H during the extraction procedure. The integral specific absorption coefficients of 1.39 + 0. I 4 (lo), 7 .09 + 0.32, and 15.6 + 0.94 /(ppm HrO.cm'?) 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 + l0 and t 500/0.
