NANO MAGNESIUM -------> HYDROGEN

Hydrogen generation from water using Mg nanopowder produced by arc plasma method

Published online 2012 Apr 20



We report that hydrogen gas can be easily produced from water at room temperature using a Mg nanopowder (30–1000 nm particles, average diameter 265 nm). The Mg nanopowder was produced by dc arc melting of a Mg ingot in a chamber with mixed-gas atmosphere (20% N2–80% Ar) at 0.1 MPa using custom-built nanopowder production equipment. The Mg nanopowder was passivated with a gas mixture of 1% O2 in Ar for 12 h in the final step of the synthesis, after which the nanopowder could be safely handled in ambient air.

The nanopowder vigorously reacted with water at room temperature, producing 110 ml of hydrogen gas per 1 g of powder in 600 s. This amount corresponds to 11% of the hydrogen that could be generated by the stoichiometric reaction between Mg and water. Mg(OH)2 flakes formed on the surface of the Mg particles as a result of this reaction. They easily peeled off, and the generation of hydrogen continued until all the Mg was consumed.


- could the same process be implemented using - Magnesite ores ( an array of minerals ) 
- other papers which suggest - nano particles - is the key in distrupting and breaking bonds

- could the junior pull several 1'000  tonnes from Driftwood with a bulk test mining permit ?
 
- above paper reports - room temp was used

1,000,000 million grams in 1 tonne
1,000 mil in 1 kg
110 ml of hydrogen production
600 seconds or, 10 minutes

WHAT WOULD 1 TONNE ( Mg ) YEILD IN HYDROGEN ?
110 Mil x 1,000,000 = 110, 000,000 mil of hydrogen ~ 1,000 mil in each Kg
= 110,000 Kg's of hydrogen
= 110 tonnes of hydrogen 

Once water is evaporated = reuse the nano Mg ?
Renewable energy ?

OIL + GAS  INDUSTRY
How would the above green process compare with - steam reformation - splitting nat gas and obtaining hydrogen ?  Hydrogen from hydrocarbons that harbor carbons - wink.


WOULD THE CO3 FROM THE MgCO3 IMPART IF GROUND TO - NANO ?
I  was studying the attributes of - organic and inorganic carbons and thier magnetism.

Issue is... most all out Driftwood studies were framed around - firning and end product.
= MgO.   Magnesium Oxide.

Our real answer lies with,
knowing the true origins of the magnesium carbonate ( organic carbon or inorganic carbon )
Then... could using a strng magnetic force repel the carbon away from the rest of the ore constituents ?

Carbon is said ot have 6 orbiting oxygen and is nonmagnetic.
But... with magnests it might act in a repelling manner to discharge the carbon away from rest of material.


What would one do with - 8 million tonnes ?
Set up small hydrogen plants to whom ever wanted to produce power.
Small energy plants are far better than a large grid that poses many issues when grids go down.

Lease the Magnesium - and have a distribution service of reprepping the magnesium
to crreate a residual turnover of - 1 tonne of nano Mgo - perhaps adding a - anticlutting product to
ensure consistent and fast hydrogen production - anti sticking - so each nano particle ensures an effective hydrogen impartation.  Anticluttering formula could be a viable edge on patents.

What if, 8 million micro hydrogen grids
each producing a poetential - 110 tonnes of, hydrogen ?

PRODUCTION SYSTEM -
I DON'T envision deep water wells, but rather....
thin flat well panels with no more than 1 inch of water with Mg nano particles with in.
Less volume of water = easier extrtaction of hydrogen formation on Mg metal
Prevent hydrogen from rebonding with water
Use sonic waves to encourage the impartation of hydrogen from surface of, Mg.
Quicken the process = more end product.
That is, if the nano soesn't dissolve with in water and solubilizes - hard to say.

Micro Hydrogen Grids -
Could be quite alluringf or select markets -
1 tonne Mg = 110 tonnes of hydrogen  = incredible compounding of energy.


Not investment advice -
Just ideas... good ideas.


Cheers.....
