SILICA ---------> HYDROGEN

[Wangotango67]

MGX has several silica quartz claims. 
97% purity. ( some )

NANO SILICA 
in water produces - hydrogen. 

Release Date: January 22, 2013
The reaction didn’t require any light, heat or electricity, and also created hydrogen about 150 times faster than similar reactions using silicon particles 100 nanometers wide, and 1,000 times faster than bulk silicon, according to the study.

What happens to the water when nano silica is placed with in ?
- Hydrogen gas is produced
- Water becomes acidic forming - silicic acid - 


What does silicic acid look like ? 

H4SiO4

4 hydrogen molecules
4 oxygen molecules 
1 silica





How easy would it be ....
to simply crush the silicate quartzt to a nano powder
place in water
caputure initial hydrogen = free power to run ball mill and nano mill


Waht ot do with rest of silicic acid water ? 
water loaded with silica that has bonded to 4 hydrogen and 4 oxygen molecules 

You sell it to an Alberta gasfirm who has - steam reformation. 
They steam the silicic  acid imparting the hydrogen and oxygen.
NO CO2 -  making it an idea green energy.

Potential silicate powder recapture.
Dried, and perhaps reusable.
= Renewable over and over ?

What a superb idea - purposing for silicates with intent to produce hydrogen.

Does one sell the silicic acid to - Alberta.... or would B.C....
like the idea to remain in the, province ?

Suppose B.C. loved the idea...
How would it compare to Albertas plan for - hydrogen ?
Alberta uses steam reformation on - hydro carbons - like natural gas, which has - co2.

This silicic acid has no co2 issues.
If B.C. ever warmedup to the idea... they'd look all the greener than, Alberta. 

What ot do with the hydrgoen ? 
- Hydrogen cars
- Hydrogen gas used to turn turbines and produce - electricity - 


Can this junior afford a simple ball mill ?
Can this junior invest in a nano mill to ensure silicate size is homoganous and uniform ?
Juat add water. 


What does hydrogen sell for in Canada per kg ?
 
Network operator HTEC is working hard to drive down the cost of hydrogen in British Columbia and confirmed to H2 View its retail stations in the Canadian province are currently retailing at CAD$12.75 ($10.15) per kilogram.



In theory,
silica mines ( bonds ) to  -  4 hydrogen molecules per silica.
it's organizing the hydrogen and oxygen molecules. 
Oxygen attached ot the silia and hydrogen attaches on the outter limits to the oxygen.
Hydrogen being the outlier. 

if quad ( silica ) bonded with water 
it might mean theres a double  harvest potential making this process 100% more effective 
than using - typical electrolysis.  ( dependent upon what is used as, electrolyte )


If water is comprized of, 2/3 hydrogen and 1/3 oxygen, then....
For every tonne of water with silica as catalyst 
Could potentially prodcue 750 kg's of hydrogen.

Put in perspective - Alberta is dropping billions to produce 110,000 tones of hydrgoen.

This silica process could be ramped up on minimal expense, and produce some serious hydrogen 
tonnage.  Paired with a generator, it could prodcue some serious electrcity. 

If the silica is recoverable....
It could place the silicate deposits in the context of.... 
Selling the complete package of ( xxx silicate tonnage converted to water acid ) + dryer to recover nano silicate  + small steam reformer + generator 
 
find the magic number of how many tonnes are needed for any specific project.
Then, divide the deposit tonnage to find out worth of silicate based on future energy produced. 
Dividend would be great - small residual kickback on per kg of hydrogen produced - wink.




Cheers....
