AB  - Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy 
      (FT-IR) techniques for water content determination were compared with a neutron 
      characterization technique, prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA). Residual H 
      content in the samples, heat treated at various temperatures, was measured with 
      PGAA and compared with the results obtained from TGA. Two major difficulties in 
      TGA were overlapping of mass loss regimes due to removal of different species and 
      residual water that could not be removed, even though the samples were heated 
      above 900 degrees C. After 3 h of heat treatment at 900 degrees C, 0.007% mass 
      fraction H remained in the sample. FT-IR spectra confirmed the presence of H 
      semiquantitatively. It is concluded that residual H remains even after 
      high-temperature treatments.
