POTENTIAL ( MgCO3 ) RESOURCE SIZE ?
ATOMIC WEIGHTS
Mg - 24.385
O - 15.999
C - 12.011
MgO = 40.304
MgCO3 = 84.313
84.313 div 40.304
= 2.090 x more
8 million tonnes MgO
would convert to, 2.09 x more
= 16, 720,000 tonnes
If others think oxygen shouldn't be factored ?
Guess again
Oxygen is tacked on to all oxide metals,
So is carbon, when a carbonate is weighed
Think - lithium carbonate.... or, other
Some scientists think, oxygen is a mineral.
They've found rocks made of near, pure oxygen.
Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Helium, Oxygen, Acid, Base,
Are the building blocks of, minerals and play a vital role
in conversions, molecular compundungs.
And there you have it.
The Driftwood has been " from get go " modelled with
a reduction mindset....take out, other elements thus
reducing the original mineral - carbonate.
Magnesium carbonate is a very popular, end sum mineral.
Various industries use this, for all kinds of products.
Rethinking the driftwood,
keeping the mineral " as found / formed ) intact
Would increase it's size by, 2.09 x more.
Instant doubling of resource size
No drilling required.
Play the " fertilizer " sector...
One could tack on another - 12% sulphur
Increasing the overall - end product weight
Another key benefit is,
Some fertilizer mixes, that use Mg sulphate
Only use 9.8% Mg
This allows original resource to ( stretch out ) last longer
Mg, facilitates - plant enzyme synthesis, photosynthesis
Plant need - mg - industry knows this, but chooses to
run with cheap phosphate, or, potassium, thus creating
plant mineral deficiencies and issues with, photosynthesis.
Photon acceptance and conversions, chlorophyl
And, plants consume carbon, which inturn humans eat it.
Let's now ask, how much calcium lime does drifwood
harbor ? Wink.
