Fig. 4

shows the mid-infrared spectral curve of red sandstone samples soaked in acid solution for different times. It can be seen that with the increase of soaking time, the rock surface becomes rougher or porous, more sample minerals are dissolved at each concentration of hydrochloric acid, and the characteristic peaks of carbonate ions weaken or disappear, resulting in a decrease in spectral reflection intensity.
