Water and molecular hydrogen evolution from Apollo sample 14163 and lunar regolith simulants LMS-1 and LHS-1 were studied. LMS-1, LHS-1, and Apollo 14163 released water upon heating, whereas only the Apollo sample directly released measurable quantities of molecular hydrogen. The resulting H2O and H-2 TPD curves were fit using a model, and the most probable H2O formation and desorption effective activation energy were determined to be around 150 kJ mol(-1) for all samples.
Water and molecular hydrogen evolution from Apollo sample 14163 and lunar regolith simulants LMS-1 and LHS-1 were examined using Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) in ultra-high vacuum. LMS-1, LHS-1, and Apollo 14163 released water upon heating, whereas only the Apollo sample directly released measurable quantities of molecular hydrogen. The resulting H2O and H-2 TPD curves were fit using a model which considers desorption at the vacuum grain interface, transport in the void space between grain-grain boundaries, molecule formation via recombination reactions and sub-surface diffusion. The model yielded a most probable H2O formation and desorption effective activation energy of ~150 kJ mol(-1) for all samples. The probability distribution widths were ~100 - 400, ~100 - 350, and ~100 - 300 kJ mol(-1) for LMS-1, LHS-1, and Apollo 14163, respectively. In addition to having the narrowest energy distribution width, the Apollo sample released the least amount to water (103 ppm) relative to LMS-1 (176 ppm) and LHS-1 (195 ppm). Since essentially no molecular hydrogen was observed from the simulants, the results indicate that LMS-1 and LHS-1 display water surface binding and transport interactions similar to actual regolith but not the desorption chemistry associated with the implanted hydrogen from the solar wind. Overall, these terrestrial surrogates are useful for understanding the surface and interface interactions of lunar regolith grains, which are largely dominated by the terminal hydroxyl sites under both solar wind bombardment and terrestrial preparation conditions.
