Step Chronology Date Type Process Changes #1 before layer formation 2022-01-01 chemical Ultrapure water (Milli-Q water, 18.2 M$\omega$) and CH3OH:CH3Cl (2/1 v/v) leaching sequences were applied to extract soluble organic molecules (SOM) removal of soluble organic molecules #2 before layer formation 2022-01-01 chemical HCl 6N was used to remove carbonates, sulfides (pyrrhotite and pentlandite) and other minerals, as one step of 2 h, followed by ultrapure water rinsing and a second step overnight. removal of minerals #3 before layer formation 2022-01-01 chemical A similar sequence with HF(48%):HCl(37%) (2/1 v/v) was run, followed by a short HCl 6N sequence (2 h), to remove any cations that might subsequently react with F- to form insoluble fluorides. removal of cations #4 before layer formation 2022-01-01 chemical The sample was rinsed again with ultrapure water and CH3OH:CH3Cl (2/1 v/v), for removing encaged free molecules. removing of free molecules #5 before layer formation 2022-01-01 thermal After having purged the remaining reagents, the sample holder was dismounted and the filter was dried. removal of reagents and water => dried IOM #6 during layer formation 2022-01-01 mechanical Grains pressed between two diamond windows IOM grains crushed down to a thickness of about 10 microns
