摘要: 月球礦物資源的原位利用技術是月球基地建立和后續深空探索的基礎。由于月球特殊環境及地月運輸成本的限制,現有礦冶技術難以直接應用于月球礦物的原位開發。各國的科研人員圍繞月球礦物資源原位利用方向開展了卓有成效的研究工作,發展了幾種極具應用潛力的技術。這些方法可分為材料化成型和提取冶金兩類,其中材料化成型工藝如燒結法、3D增材制造法等,主要用于將月壤直接材料化成型以制備月球基地建材。提取冶金工藝包括碳/氫化學介質還原法、電解還原法以及真空熱解法等,可生產月壤礦物對應的金屬單質或其低價氧化物,并獲得氧氣。本文概述了已有月壤原位利用技術的一般原理、基本過程、熱力學動力學基礎及近期研究進展。探討了這些方法的一些優缺點,并展望了其在月球礦物原位利用上的應用前景。Abstract: The in-situ utilization of lunar mineral resources is fundamental process for the establishment of a lunar base and subsequent exploration of deep space. However, the special environment of the moon and the cost of earth–moon transportation limit the direct application of existing mining and metallurgy technologies to achieve the in-situ utilization of lunar regolith. Since the 1980s, when NASA first proposed the “In-situ Resource Utilization” program (ISRU) and began to put it into practice, scientific researchers from all over the world have carried out fruitful research on the orientation of the in-situ utilization of lunar mineral resources and developed several technologies with great application potential. These methods can be divided into materialized molding and extractive metallurgy. Materialized molding processes, such as the sintering method and 3D additive manufacturing method, are mainly used to directly materialize the lunar soil to prepare building materials for the lunar base. Meanwhile, metallurgical extraction processes include carbon/hydrogenation medium reduction, electrolytic reduction, and vacuum pyrolysis, which can produce the corresponding metal or its suboxides and oxygen. At present, the main raw materials used in related engineering applications and ISRU research are lunar soil simulants. This paper briefly summarized the special space environment of the moon and its influence. Moreover, the characteristics and applications of lunar soil simulants synthesized in different countries were compared. The main steps, technological characteristics, research status, and application prospects of lunar soil and lunar soil simulant’s materialized molding process were then introduced. This work also summarized the general principles, basic processes, thermodynamics, and kinetics of the lunar soil’s in-situ extraction metallurgical technology, as well as the latest research progress. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of these methods were discussed, and their applications in the in-situ utilization of lunar minerals were proposed. In addition, the possible impact of the special lunar environment on the implementation of related technologies and products in the future was discussed and prospected.

Environment Description Beneficial applications Vacuum Without an atmosphere, the vacuum is about 1.3×10?7 Pa. A vacuum and oxygen-free environment is beneficial to vacuum metallurgy and promote reduction reaction. Solar radiation One moon day is equal to 28 earth days,
and the days and nights are long.The use of solar energy as an energy source, including solar power generation, focused solar heating, solar pump generation of laser, and other ways. Microgravity The moon’s gravity: one-sixth of the earth’s gravity. Reduce the cost of lunar surface transportation and reduce the difficulty of construction. Some processes
allow containerless operations.Temperature difference The moon’s equatorial temperature ranges from ?178 ℃ to 113 ℃, and its polar temperature ranges from ?223 ℃ to 73 ℃. Electric generation by temperature difference. Solar wind The composition of lunar soil was affected by the solar wind diffusion path for most of the time. It is possible to form OH? or even H2O in some oxygen-containing minerals of lunar soil.
Some lunar soil is rich in He-3.It can be used as an important source of reducing element H, and He-3 controllable thermonuclear power generation
can provide energy.表 2 月壤風化層的礦相組成、化學組成、粒徑和體積質量[10-12]

Table 4. Characteristics and disadvantages of 3D printing technology of lunar soil simulant
3D printing technology Main experimental steps Additive Disadvantages References Contour crafting The nozzle is used to extrude the sulfur concrete quickly, manufacturing the structure optionally. Sulfur Sulfur needs to be transported from the earth, and the extrusion process is limited by microgravity. [22] D-shape During the 3D printing process, liquids with high surface tension and low viscosity are used to bind the material together. Inorganic solution The transport and storage of inorganic solutions are limited, and the ejection process of the liquid is restricted by microgravity. [23] Laser 3D printing Lasers are used to sinter the powder or compaction layer by layer, manufacturing the structure quickly. None The interlayer bonding effect of sintering is poor, and the influence of the ultra-high vacuum heat transfer mechanism on sintering needs further study. [24] “Lunar regolith inks” printing The lunar soil powder is directly configured into “printing ink”, which is then extruded and molded. Organic solution Organic solvents need to be transported from the earth, and ink extrusion is limited by microgravity. [25] Photocuring printing Ultraviolet light is used to selectively expose the material to solidify the printed material in a specific shape. Curable resin The photocurable resins needs to be transported from the earth, and the printed solid material is brittle with poor impact resistance. [26?27] Solar 3D printing The powder or compaction is molded layer-by-layer using focused sunlight. None The sunlight focusing effect is poor, and the penetration is weak. The sintered sample is thin with low controllability. [28] 表 5 月壤材料化成型技術對比

Molding technology Main experimental
stepsThe characteristics of the technique References Direct sintering The solidified polymer was obtained by alkaline excitation, cold pressing, and sintering of the lunar soil simulant or lunar soil. Easy to mass manufacture, high production efficiency, the condensed material needs to be transported from the earth, singular products. [15?21] 3D additive manufacturing Selectively molded lunar soil or lunar soil simulant by laser, focused sunlight, or other technical means. Can mold arbitrarily and rapidly, low production efficiency, low product strength, some technologies require additives. [22?31] Direct melting to prepared glass fiber The lunar soil simulant was melted and rapidly cooled to obtain the vitreous, which is then crushed and wire-drawn in a continuous fiber wire-drawing furnace. The composite materials of lunar soil can be prepared; further study is needed on the formation of fiber in the special lunar environment. [32?34] 表 6 月壤風化層提取冶金技術總結

Extractive technology Operating temperature Substances that can be extracted directly Characteristics of
the techniqueReferences Hydrogen reduction process 800?1000 ℃ Fe It can directly extract metal iron but can only treat iron minerals in the lunar soil. Oxygen cannot be produced directly. [35?40] Carbothermic method 800?2000 ℃ Fe, Si Metal iron can be produced directly, and silicon can be produced by raising the temperature. Carbon-based reducing agents need to be transported from the earth. Oxygen cannot be produced directly. [41?44] Fluorination process less than 700 ℃ O2 Oxygen can be obtained only with high oxygen production rate and complex processes. Fluorine needs to be transported from the earth. [45?47] Molten electrolysis process 1600?2000 ℃ Fe, Ti, Al, Si, Ca, Mg, O2 Can extract most of the metals from lunar soil with higher requirements for raw materials and electrodes. [48?50] Molten salt electrolysis process 800?1000 ℃ Fe, Ti, Al, Si, Ca, Mg, O2 Can extract most of the metals from lunar soil with low requirements for raw materials. Molten salt needs to be replenished from the earth. [51?60] Vacuum pyrolysis 2000?10000 ℃ Fe, Ti, Al, Si, Ca, Mg, O2 Low equipment requirements. Can take full advantage of the unique lunar environment to obtain metal and oxygen simultaneously with low yield and low separation efficiency. [61?73] www.77susu.com -
