The present application relates to a kind of preparation methods for different characteristic Mars weathered layer
simulation object, comprising: obtaining the
chemical element information of real Mars weathered layer, selecting the brown red
volcanic rock with approximate chemical characteristics as
raw material and
drying;The dry
raw material is pulverized, classified and screened, and a plurality of particle size components are obtained;Design different types of target particle size grading, to simulate the typical mechanical properties of different regions on the surface of Mars, each grading can be used as dry state regolith sample.Add water or
salt solution to dry state regolith sample, and form frozen sample by low temperature, to simulate
high latitude or shallow ice frozen environment on Mars.In addition,
secondary mineral powder can also be added to simulate the surface environment of Mars after acidification or salinization
weathering, to realize more complex chemical characteristics demand.The present application is simple in process, suitable for
mass production, and the
simulation object and Mars weathered layer have good correspondence in
chemical composition, physical and mechanical properties, and
simulation regolith can be produced to cope with various working conditions.
