Some scientists thought perchlorates might condense water vapor from the atmosphere.

有科学家认为，高氯酸盐凝结了大气中的水蒸气从而形成液态水。

They put a thin layer of perchlorates on top of water ice inside the chamber.

他们在桶里的水冰上撒上了薄薄的一层高氯酸盐。

And both NASA's Phoenix and Curiosity missions found salts called perchlorates sprinkled around the Martian surface.

美国航空航天局发射的凤凰号和好奇号都在火星的表面发现了一种叫做高氯酸盐的物质。

To make this even worse, Mars' soil is filled with very toxic perchlorate salts.

更糟糕的是，火星的土壤充满了剧毒的高氯酸盐。

It's a small canister that holds sodium chlorate, barium peroxide, and a pinch of potassium perchlorate.

它是一个装有氯化钠、过氧化钡、高氯酸钾的小罐头。

To see how perchlorates might act on Mars, researchers recreated the pressure, humidity and temperature of the planet inside a metal cylinder.

为了弄清楚高氯酸盐在火星上所起到的作用，研究人员在一个金属圆筒里重新模拟出火星的压力，湿度和温度。

It's briny, filled with special kind of salt called perchlorate salts.

它是咸的，充满了一种叫做高氯酸盐的特殊盐。

So HClO4 is perchloric acid and it dissociates into an anion called perchlorate.

所以 HClO4 是高氯酸， 它会分解成一种叫做高氯酸盐的阴离子。

Or, at least, liquid hydrated perchlorate salts that flow down steep slopes in the warmest Martian months.

或者，至少，液态水合高氯酸盐会在火星最温暖的月份从陡峭的斜坡上流下来。

But we do know that central to the existence of these RSLs are perchlorates -- corrosive, toxic ionic compounds that are, troublingly, abundant on Mars.

但我们确实知道，这些 RSL 存在的核心是高氯酸盐——腐蚀性、有毒的离子化合物，令人不安的是，它们在火星上大量存在。

A system called the solid fuel oxygen generator, also known as' perchlorate candles', consists of canisters that contain a mixture of powdered sodium chlorate and iron powder.

一种称为固体燃料氧气发生器的系统，也称为“高氯酸盐蜡烛”，由装有氯酸钠粉末和铁粉混合物的罐组成。

The resulting perchlorate brine, also called a hydrated salt, is so stable that it dramatically lowers water’s freezing point and the pressure at which it evaporates.

由此产生的高氯酸盐盐水， 也称为水合盐，非常稳定，可以显着降低水的冰点和蒸发压力。
