Hydrogen reduction

Hydrogen or carbothermal reductions use the interaction of a specific gas with lunar regolith materials to extract oxygen

of methane for the classical carbothermal reduction of molten regolith at higher temperatures, which mainly reduces the silicate compounds. Ilmenite reduction at lower te

The EATG treatment on the meteorite samples was carried out by J. Gibson and J. Malley at The Open University. ICP-MS bulk analyses of the samples were performed by E. Humphreys-Williams and B. Schmid

Pressure change during the hydrogen reduction of (a) NU-LHT-2M, (b) ilmenite-doped NU-LHT-2M, (c) NWA 12592, (d) 10084, and (e) 60500.

Each material (simulant, meteorite, and lunar soils) was prepared, reacted, and analysed in triplicate.
