Determination of water in silicate rock samples by combustion and infrared absorption

An infrared absorption method is described for the determination of water in powdered silicate rock samples. For determination of the total water (H2OTot), air-dried samples were combusted at 1100°C without a flux and the evolved water was passed through an IR cell for the measurement. Essential wat...
