3D - PRINTGiven the difficulty in entering the, cement, metal, fertilizer markets due to - king pins...
And given the oddity of a report by Hatch that came up with a 100/mil furnace...
Made me think in a different direction...
I asked the question,
" is there another way to pull the mgo out of the mgco3 without using a furnace ? "
My goal was to find some sort of " reactant " that would separate the mgo from the carbon
It had ot be cheap and the process had to separate the mgo.
Application ?
My mind was in the arena of... 3D printing.
Using the mgo or even, mgco3 as a nano powder mixed with a polymer, resin, or graphene paste.
GOAL ?
Produce a composite material that when hardend = hard as steel but lighter than steel.
APPLICATION ?
Panel skins for vehicles.
PASTE ?
Formulating a " mgo paste " that is compatable for - 3D printing.
END GOAL ?
Give the furnace " mgo " manufacturers a run for thier money.
BEFORE ONE - SNUBS THIS IDEA...
Simple automotive BONDO has up to 10% MgO - with in it's miture.
Think about it... Once the fiberglass resin hardens - with an MgO -
It adds an extra " metal " content for strengthening.
MY OWN IDEA ?
Placed a far higher value of - MgO - in a resin or polymer - creating a stronger metalloid product.
Perhaps programming the 3D printer to print in a - lattice - layering to assist the constructs.
Some resins are as strong as - steel.
Graphene is said to be 200xstronger than steel.
Imagine a [ mgo - with in a graphene ?
I'd say the compatability could be coheasive.
Graphene is carbon.
MgCO3 is -carbonate in nature.
Same family.
NEXT QUESTION ?
I asked... what simple conversion or synthesis would result in, pulling out more mgo from mgco3 ?
OXALATE ACID + MgCO3 = Magnesium Oxalate.
Plants and Humans produce oxalate.
I THEN ASKED
What happens when magnesium oxalate is placedin water ?
ANSWER ?
Magnesium Oxalate + Water = Carbon Dioxide + Brucite + Tritium HEAD SCRATCHER ?
Co2 - i get.
Brucite ? ( i said what the ? )
Tritium ? ( really baffled me )
BRUCITE -
Mg ( OH ) 2 - I asked myself, this is magnesium hydroxide is it not ?
Yes it is... but...Magnesium Hydroxide is also refered to as, Brucite when found in, nature.
Learnt something new...
i couldn't halp but notice... the double bond of hydrogen oxygen.
reminded me of, hydrogne storage using mangesium;
Magnesium hydroxide is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Mg(OH)2. It occurs in nature as the mineral brucite. TRITIUM -
This one stumped me.. i've only ever studies battery metals, energy, not nuclear..
Turns out, it's a triple hydrogen bond with two protons.
So i asked... a simple oxalate acid mixed with, mgco3 + water
creates al lof the above.
AN ACID FORMULA WITHOUT THE USE OF - FURNACE
carbon capture = keep for graphene
magnesium hydroxide - seaprates the magnesium
tritium - triple hydorgen double proton bond. ( nuclear fuel )
How much is tritium worth ?
At $30,000 per gram, it's almost as precious as a diamond, but for fusion researchers the price is worth paying. When tritium is combined at high temperatures with its sibling deuterium, the two gases can burn like the Sun.Jun 23, 2022
I think our problem is...
any new business is subjugated with - new carbon rules -
essentially - all new mining or businesses are discriminated against.
Not fair.
It allows what is operating in business - to gain control over the new economy - remain king pin.
Prevents any new challengers from ousting the - king pins.
And in this day in age...
A new tech can instantly oust a king pin over night...
Just look at he lithium sector.
Some small juniors had larger lithium resources than some of the king pins who contro lthe chemical industries. Hence the slow dow nof lithium, allowing the chemicla industry to regain control.
King Pins - remain in power.
all new tech gets to be picked over by king pins, which allows them to always remain in power.
This oxalate acid - simple acid - could be an easy path to convert the mgco3 to a mg hydroxide
and at same time use the carbon to make graphene to produce a polmere or resin based 3D print paste - and at same timne, produce tritium as a nuclear fuel.
Just ideas....
Here's a research study using , mgo and calcium with - graphene -
can't open it... wish i could. At least i thought of it before finding it.
My mind could be onto something that the industry might be overlooking.
= reinforced graphene with mgoco3 to produce - high strength composite sheet panels for automotive industry.
Helluva lot better than a - Hatch report with - $100/mil furnace.
Cheers....
