British scientists fine tuning process to extract oxygen from moon dust Lunar regolith – Republic World
Scientists will heat simulated moon dust and calcium chloride salt to 950 degrees Celsius and then split the two with electric current, producing metal alloys
British engineers are working on a technology that extracts oxygen from lunar dust, releasing metal as a byproduct that could be utilized for the construction of moon based equipment via 3D printing. The ESA team, led by University of Glasgow PhD candidate and ESA researcher Beth Lomax and ESA researcher Alexandre Meurisse announced on November 27 that it is planning to convert the Lunar regolith, a layer of dusty rock on the moon into breathable O2.
