Description:

The water uptake and release by perchlorate salts have been well studied since the ﬁrst in situ identi ﬁcation of such salts in the Martian soil by the Phoenix mission in 2008. However, there have been few studies on the effect of the insoluble regolith minerals on the interaction of perchlorate with water vapor. In this work, we investigate the impact of a Mars-relevant mineral, montmorillonite, and a Mars soil analog, Mojave Mars Simulant (MMS), on the deliquescence (transition from dry crystalline to aqueous via watervapor absorption), ice formation, and ef ﬂorescence (transition from aqueous to dry crystalline via loss of water) of pure magnesium perchlorate. We studied mixtures of magnesium perchlorate hexahydrate with either montmorillonite or MMS. Although montmorillonite and MMS are materials that may serve as nucleifor either ice nucleation or salt ef ﬂorescence, we ﬁnd that these soil analogs did not affect the phase
