Accurate measurement of H2O concentration and speciation in silicate glasses is important not only for studies of erupted glasses that use the volatile record to reconstruct eruption processes, but also for studies that use experimental glasses to find e.g. the partition coefficients of other volatiles that partition into H2O-rich vapour. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy can be used to find not only the overall H2O concentration (H2Ot) of silicate glasses, but also the individual concentrations of the two H2O species: molecular H2O (H2Om), and dissociated hydroxyl groups (OH). Here we discuss key developments and refinements of FTIR methodology with respect to finding the water contents of silicate glasses. Firstly, we demonstrate the importance of using a species-dependent H2Ot molar absorptivity coefficient when using the 3500 cm-1 H2Ot absorbance peak to find H2Ot and OH (indirectly as [OH] = [H2Ot] – [H2Om]) concentrations, and in particular how this can be used to reconstruct the original H2O contents of glasses that have since undergone secondary hydration at low temperature. Secondly, we discuss the strong dependence on glass composition of ‘silicate peaks’ at ~1830 cm-1 and ~1600 cm-1, and demonstrate how the 1830 cm-1 peak can be used to correct FTIR imaging of H2O concentrations in samples of varying glass thickness, and how the superposition of the 1630 cm-1 H2Om and 1600 cm-1 silicate peaks may result in overestimation of H2Om concentration in thick and/or H2Om-poor samples.
