ICES-2021-292.Pdf (1.890Mb) 50th International Conference on Environmental Systems ICES-2021-292 12-15 July 2021 Experimental Proof of Concept of a Cold Trap as a Purification Step for Lunar Water Processing Jordan B. Holquist1, Sean Gellenbeck2, Chad E. Bower3, and Philipp Tewes4 Paragon Space Development Corporation, Tucson, AZ 85714, USA Since the observation of direct evidence of water-ice in the permanently shadowed regions (PSR) on the lunar surface, in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) has been proposed for processing the regolith-bound water-ice to provide fresh water, breathable oxygen, and liquid rocket propellant for lunar exploration missions. One possible method of extraction is the sublimation and vapor transport of the water from the regolith to a collection and processing system. However, the water-ice is found concurrently with other typically volatile species that can sublimate with water vapor and that would contaminate and degrade downstream processing systems. Paragon Space Development Corporation® is developing the ISRU- derived water purification and Hydrogen Oxygen Production (IHOP) system to collect, purify, and process water-ice from PSRs on the lunar surface. A critical component of this system concept is a cold trap that selectively deposits water-ice from a saturated water vapor stream while rejecting the contaminant volatiles. This paper presents results, analysis, and discussion of an experimental proof of concept demonstration wherein a warm process gas containing water vapor and volatile contaminant components (H2, CO, H2S, NH3, SO2, C2H4, CH4, CO2, and CH3OH) was passed into an evacuated and actively chilled thick-walled glass bottle. Water-ice samples were collected from each of eight test batches with varying contaminant components present at concentrations with respect to water vapor matching their observed proportionality from the LCROSS mission results. Each water sample was analyzed for impurities in both the liquid water and the gaseous headspace of the sample. Results indicate that retained contaminants have concentrations at or below the Henry’s Law estimates made in ICES-2020-71, demonstrating proof of concept of a freeze distillation purification step for lunar water processing by using a cold trap for water collection.

Introduction ASA has identified a critical need for the design, fabrication, and testing of in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) N components to produce purified water, oxygen, and hydrogen on the Moon and/or Mars from regolith-based resources. Extended stays on the Lunar or Martian surface will require a readily available source of purified water. Once the water is purified, it can be used as a source of oxygen, (both as breathable air for habitat crew and as propellant oxidizer), and hydrogen as propellant fuel. In the near term, NASA has specifically identified the need for development and testing of critical components for the extraction and purification of water from ice that exists at the lunar poles in permanently, or near-permanently, shadowed regions (PSRs) on the Moon. Purification and electrolysis of in-situ lunar water has never been done before. It presents unique challenges related to the hazardous, corrosive, toxic, and flammable gases present with the lunar water and the lunar polar environment; as well as the typical constraints of system launched to the lunar surface (mass, volume, power, autonomy, robustness, reliability, and lifetime). This technology development is vital to allow humans to achieve a sustainable presence on the Moon. Paragon Space Development Corporation (Paragon) and our partner Giner, Inc. (Giner) are pursuing development and testing of key components in the ISRU-derived water purification and Hydrogen Oxygen Production (IHOP) subsystem (see Figure 1) as well as advancement of the subsystem architecture. Paragon is developing an innovative, contaminant robust subsystem that removes acidic and water soluble contaminants found within ISRU-derived water on the Moon that could corrode systems, degrade electrolyzer (or other downstream system) performance, or present serious toxicity issues to humans. In the IHOP subsystem shown in Figure 1, an H2O Cold Trap Assembly (Cold Trap) and Paragon’s Nafion-based Ionomer-membrane Water Processing (IWP) technology provide broadband contaminant filtration, while an ammonia (NH3) scrubber and water polisher are optimized for specific contaminant and final trace contaminant removal, respectively. The purified water is then electrolyzed using a static feed water electrolyzer to produce H2 and O2 propellant. This closely-coupled architecture of water purification and propellant production allows NASA maximum flexibility to adapt IHOP to a variety of upstream and downstream ISRU subsystems for applications on either the Moon or Mars. Our technical solution builds on both prior executed contracts as well as internal research and development. Figure 1.

  • Water Loss from Terrestrial Planets with CO2-Rich Atmospheres
    Water loss from terrestrial planets with CO2-rich atmospheres R. D. Wordsworth Department of the Geophysical Sciences, University of Chicago, 60637 IL, USA [email protected] and R. T. Pierrehumbert Department of the Geophysical Sciences, University of Chicago, 60637 IL, USA ABSTRACT Water photolysis and hydrogen loss from the upper atmospheres of terrestrial planets is of fundamental importance to climate evolution but remains poorly understood in general. Here we present a range of calculations we performed to study the dependence of water loss rates from terrestrial planets on a range of atmospheric and external parameters. We show that CO2 can only cause sig- nificant water loss by increasing surface temperatures over a narrow range of conditions, with cooling of the middle and upper atmosphere acting as a bottle- neck on escape in other circumstances. Around G-stars, efficient loss only occurs on planets with intermediate CO2 atmospheric partial pressures (0.1 to 1 bar) that receive a net flux close to the critical runaway greenhouse limit. Because G-star total luminosity increases with time but XUV/UV luminosity decreases, this places strong limits on water loss for planets like Earth. In contrast, for a CO2-rich early Venus, diffusion limits on water loss are only important if clouds caused strong cooling, implying that scenarios where the planet never had surface liquid water are indeed plausible. Around M-stars, water loss is primarily a func- arXiv:1306.3266v2 [astro-ph.EP] 12 Oct 2013 tion of orbital distance, with planets that absorb less flux than ∼ 270 W m−2 (global mean) unlikely to lose more than one Earth ocean of H2O over their lifetimes unless they lose all their atmospheric N2/CO2 early on.

  • Cold Traps out of Glass Or Stainless Steel for the Vacuum Technology
    Cold traps out of glass or stainless steel for the vacuum technology KGW-ISOTHERM Karlsruher Glastechnisches Werk 76185 Karlsruhe Gablonzerstraße 6 Tel:0721/ 95897-0 Fax: 0721 / 95897-77 Email: [email protected] Internet: www.kgw-isotherm.com A 16 Cold traps: construction, operation and principles Cold traps are used in conjunction with vacuum pumps to collect condensation produced from humidity or solvents and these cold traps can be used for many different tasks. The most common application is collecting condensation produced from humidity or solvents from rotating discs, vacuum pumps or high vacuum systems that use‘s oil diffusion or turbo-molecular pumps. In this case a common coolant such as liquid nitrogen (LN2) or dry-ice (CO2) with acetone is normally used. Another application is the production of condensation from specific substances at a constant, predefined temperature. This can be realised by using a coolant at a constant, predefined temperature, a thermostat or a Kaltgas system. Cold traps can be manufactured out of glass or metal. The use of glass is advantageous in the chemical sector and when producing condensation from solvents, due to its resistance to chemicals. All glass cold traps listed in this catalogue are produced solely from borosilicate glass 3.3, in compliance with DIN/ISO (DURAN made by Schott). The mechanical design takes into account the wall thickness for use under vacuum. Material - glass All the glassware produced by KGW - ISOTHERM are made of borosilicat glass 3.3 DIN/ISO 3585. The glass has the following characteristics: Chemical characteristics hydrolytic resistance : according to DIN-ISO 719 (98°C) acid resistance : according to DIN-ISO 1776 alkaline resistance : according to ISO 695-A2 Physical characteristics linear expansion factor : 3,3 x 10-6 1/K (at 20°C-300°C) density : 2,23 g/cm3 specific thermal capacity : 910 J/kg K transformation temperature : 525 °C Admissible Operation Conditions for cold traps made of glass Temperature range -200°C to +200 °C Pressure range standard vacuum to atm.

  • Environmental Health and Safety Vacuum Traps
    Environmental Health and Safety Vacuum Traps Always place an appropriate trap between experimental apparatus and the vacuum source. The vacuum trap: • protects the pump, pump oil and piping from the potentially damaging effects of the material; • protects people who must work on the vacuum lines or system, and; • prevents vapors and related odors from being emitted back into the laboratory or system exhaust. Improper trapping can allow vapor to be emitted from the exhaust of the vacuum system, resulting in either reentry into the laboratory and building or potential exposure to maintenance workers. Proper traps are important for both local pumps and building systems. Proper Trapping Techniques To prevent contamination, all lines leading from experimental apparatus to the vacuum source must be equipped with filtration or other trapping as appropriate. • Particulates: use filtration capable of efficiently trapping the particles in the size range being generated. • Biological Material: use a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. Liquid disinfectant (e.g. bleach or other appropriate material) traps may also be required. • Aqueous or non-volatile liquids: a filter flask at room temperature is adequate to prevent liquids from getting to the vacuum source. • Solvents and other volatile liquids: use a cold trap of sufficient size and cold enough to condense vapors generated, followed by a filter flask capable of collecting fluid that could be aspirated out of the cold trap. • Highly reactive, corrosive or toxic gases: use a sorbent canister or scrubbing device capable of trapping the gas. Environmental Health and Safety 632-6410 January 2010 EHSD0365 (01/10) Page 1 of 2 www.stonybrook.edu/ehs Cold Traps For most volatile liquids, a cold trap using a slush of dry ice and either isopropanol or ethanol is sufficient (to -78 deg.

  • Hearing Conservation
    Stench Chemicals Stench chemicals are a group of chemicals that exhibit an extremely foul smell. Even though most stench chemicals have little direct impact on the physical health and safety of researchers, use of these chemicals without an odor control plan can have an effect on both the laboratory environment as well as the outside environment. Therefore, it is important that researchers carefully control their use of all stench chemicals in order to minimize the impact on other workers and neighbors. Examples of Stench Compounds A few examples of stench chemicals are: thiols (mercaptans), sulfides, selenides, amines, phosphines, butyric acid and valeric acid. Among the chemicals listed above, thiols, also referred to as mercaptans, are the most commonly used group, and are therefore discussed in further detail below. Thiols (Mercaptans) Thiols are a class of organosulfur compounds characterized by the presence of one or more sulfhydryl (-SH) groups. Since 1937, thiols have been added to natural gas (which is naturally odorless) as an odorant to assist with detecting natural gas leaks. Thiols exhibit a moderate level of toxicity, and their use does not require special safety precautions. Thiols are characterized by their disagreeable odors at parts per million (ppm) concentrations, and have an odor threshold of only 0.011 ppm. Due to their addition to natural gas, the detection of their odor automatically leads to suspicion of natural gas leaks in or near buildings where they are used. Thus, the use of even small quantities of thiols in laboratory experiments without odor control measures in place can cause concern for other building occupants, people passing by outside, or even the occupants of adjacent buildings.

A test stand used in studies was Key words: supplemented by a cold trap to prevent the steam flow into the vacu- steam cold trap, um pump and for the intensification of the ice sublimation process. sublimation, The comparative tests: with the cold trap and without were performed. ice, The research material (samples) was in the form of ice nugget, frozen sprat freeze-drying sprat carcasses and ice frozen within the sponge (porous material model). The aim of the study was to examine the cold trap impact on the conditions within the vacuum chamber during sublimation and the speed of the process. The differences in the sublimation speed for the free ice, the ice from the frozen sprat and from the model were rated.
