Preliminary experiments have been conducted to study shock-release of volatiles from minerals. Impact-induced loss of bound water from hydrous minerals has been observed, using infrared absorption and X-ray powder diffractometer techniques. Serpentine (Mg3Si2O5(OH)4) and nontronite (.5Ca(0.7)Fe4/(Si(7.3)Al(0.7))O20/(OH)4.nH2O) were shocked and recovered from pressures of up to 38 GPa, using one-dimensional shock reverberation techniques. Kernite (Na2B4O7.4H2O) was impacted by a spherical pyrex projectile traveling at 4.89 km/sec, which produced a peak pressure of approximately 33 GPa. The infrared absorption spectra indicate that some of the bound water from these three minerals was released as a result of shock compression and subsequent rarefaction. This evidence is supported by the recovery of small amounts of vapor from the serpentine shocked to 23.5 GPa and the nontronite shocked to 18 GPa. The recovered vapor is inferred to be water from the shocked minerals. X-ray diffraction spectra indicate no major changes in the unit cell dimensions of the two silicates, except for a decrease in the lattice constant in the c-direction of the nontronite, consistent with the loss of interlayer water.
