Beschreibung:
Experimental data is presented for CO2 adsorption on palagonites (now thought to provide the most acceptable spectral match to Mars weathering products). When corrected for great differences in specific surface area, the adsorptive behavior exhibited by palogonites, nontronite, and basalt with respect to CO2 can be (approx.) described by the same generic equation. Using this relationship normalized to a Mars soil surface area, and the dependence of subsurface temperatures on latitude and depth, the current inventory of regolith absorbed CO2 was estimated.
