Summary

This paper evaluates phosphorus adsorption and desorption properties of Minnesota Basalt Lunar Simulant (MBLS) and Lunar Glass Simulant (LGS). It reports that between 50-70% of applied P was adsorbed and 85-100% desorbed. The Extended Freundlich equation best described adsorption (r² = 0.92), while the Raven/Hossner equation best described desorption (r² = 0.97). Kinetic desorption results showed most P was released within 15 h. The expanded Elovich equation fit data best at shorter times, while the t/Q DT equation fit better at longer times. This paper investigates phosphorus adsorption and desorption properties of Minnesota Basalt Lunar Simulant (MBLS) and Lunar Glass Simulant (LGS). The study compares these simulants to Apollo 10084 soil and examines P interactions using quantity and intensity parameters. The paper describes the preparation and characterization of the simulants, including X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis methods. The paper investigates phosphorus adsorption and desorption properties of Minnesota Basalt Lunar Simulant (MBLS) and Lunar Glass Simulant (LGS).
