We propose mid/far-infrared spectroscopy of comets to study (1) precise astromineralogy of cometary refractory dust and, (2) environment of H2O ice formation (temperature and gas density) in the early solar nebula. The mid/far-infrared spectroscopy is a powerful diagnostic tool to investigate the size, shape, and chemical composition of cometary dust, so that it will enable us to reveal the process of refractory grain growth and radial transportation of dust grains in the early solar nebula. However, it is not easy to disentangle constituent minerals clearly only with the 10 μm-band of ground-based observations. The crystalline silicate bands at 33, 49, and 69 μm are a clue to investigate the dust size and chemical composition. Whether cometary H2O icy dust grain is amorphous or crystalline reflects its formation environment (temperature and gas density). The H2O ice bands are at 6, 12, 44 and 65 μm. Since the reason why crystalline H2O icy grains were detected in a few comets is still unclear, statistical study on the abundance of the cometary crystalline H2O ice dust is important to reveal the history of formation and evolution of the comets.
