Nature sunlight bleaching of Ti center ESR signal in quartz
Quartz grains were extracted from granite. Bleaching was carried out in four different area chosen for their different altitudes (Beijing
Yinchuan
Germu
Lhasa)
in order to observe their behavior under different intensities of the UV (Ultra violet) component of sunlight. The result of our experiments indicate that the Ti center signal is totally bleachable by the natural sunlight and show that the Ti center signal was reduced to zero after about 128 h in Beijing and after 56 h for Lhasa. We can speculate that different intensity of the UV component of sunlight lead to different minimal time necessary to obtain the total bleaching of the quartz sample.
