A meteoritic model-glass has been altered under oxidizing conditions in different media (water and sulfuric acid) at 80℃ and 0℃. The reactions were followed by analysis of solutions and solids (XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM). After reaction, all the elements were detected in solution, at different levels of concentration related to the medium. The most aggressive media were sulfuric acid at pH 1 for 80℃ and 0℃ runs. In such alteration conditions, the surface of the solid evolved rapidly according to the temperature. At 80℃, one noticed the development of a Si-rich layer containing calcium and sulfate ions which combined to form gypsum. At 0℃, only smooth surface with etch pits and scarce gypsum crystals were observed. In contact with glass, ultramicr...
