Step Chronology Date Type Process Changes
#1 during layer formation 2011-05-27 layer formation slightly compressed grains dispersed agglomerate of grains placed in the cell under ambient temperature and air. Manual compression
#2 after sample formation 2011-05-27 chemical kept 10 min under ambient temperature and air (H2O and CO2) The carbonation process started during and after sample preparation under ambiant air. Slight reaction of CO2 with Portlandite
#3 on parent sample 2011-05-27 thermal cooling of the sample to -60°C adsorption of water and condensation of ice on the minerals
#4 on parent sample 2011-05-27 fluid physical removal of air in the chamber: vacuum 1e-5 mbar during 10 min some loss of adsorbed water and ice
#5 on parent sample 2011-05-24 thermal heating of the sample to 25°C melting of ice and some loss of adsorbed and liquid water
