The gases released on DF dissolution of a variety of samples have been studied by gas chromatography and high resolution mass spectrometry. Results on Apollo 12 samples confirm previous observations that CH4 and C2H6 are released as well as CD4, C2D4, C2D6 and higher deuterated hydrocarbons. The yields correlate with the total carbon content of the samples and the CH4 and C2H6 released may be regarded as indigenous while the deuterated products result from hydrolysis of carbide material. Dissolutions were also performed on five size fractions of sample 14240,5, ranging from >420 μ to <37 μ. The yields of CH4, CD4,20Ne and36Ar correlate with the surface area and therefore probably arise from solar wind implantation. Other deuterocarbons released include C2D4, C2D6, C3D6, C3D8 and C4D10. Preliminary pyrolysis results of these size differentiated samples confirmed the presence and surface correlation of the CH4,20Ne and36Ar. Dissolution of the 14148, 14156 and 14149 trench samples showed that their carbon chemistry and solar wind exposure are very similar to that of the 14240 SESC and Apollo 11 and 12 fines of high carbon content. Other interesting components released from the soil samples by DF include D2S, DCN and CS2.
