Sulfur (Elemental / Troilite-derived)

Sulfur (Elemental / Troilite-derived)

minerals
TL;DR: Sulfur is a main entry in the 外星矿物知识引擎 database.
Sulfur extracted from troilite in lunar regolith enables production of sulfur concrete - a water-free construction material that sets rapidly in the lunar environment. This is one of the most practical near-term ISRU construction methods, requiring only sulfur and aggregate regolith heated to 130-140°C.
Formula
S
Crystal System
Orthorhombic
Hardness
1.5-2.5
Density
2.07 g/cm³
Occurrence
Lunar regolith (as troilite FeS); volcanic deposits on Io; common in meteorites
Significance
Key ingredient for sulfur concrete (water-free construction material); hot-melt extrusion for lunar 3D printing
Source
Apollo samples, lunar regolith studies
