Thermal Properties of Lunar Regolith Simulants [PDF]
Earth and Space 2010, 2010 Various high temperature chemical processes have been developed to extract oxygen and metals from lunar regolith. These processes are tested using terrestrial analogues of the regolith. But all practical terrestrial analogs contain H2O and/or OH-, the presence of which has substantial impact on important system behaviors.
