BICARBONATES

Sodium Bicarbonate
= Na(HCO3)2

Can be formed into dry crystal,


Magesium Bicarbonate
= Must be kept in liquid form - no dry crystal

Magnesium Bicarbonate
easy to make
co2 + water = carbonic acid
MgOCO3 + ( HCO3)2 aq


Now, what i don't understand is,
How can a sodium bicarbonate form crystals
but.... magnesium must be kept - liquid ?

Makes no sense, as both are salts.

If studies are at all accurate,
One could cater to - Greenhouse / Nurseries / Agricultural Farms

There's been an uptick of, Greenhouse / Farming.
Climate controlled - less risk better results
Lots of, Gov't funding

Plants love the carbon
Plants need and love the magnesium
= Hydropontic Mg(HCO3)2
= One might find a market share

---------------------------------------------------------------------

One research study cased the decomposition rate of,
Mg(HCO3)2
60-90 ( degrees ) quite modest thermal reduction.

Which got me thinking....lol

What if,
one was given aqueous co2 by another company
given it for free ( other company wanted to reduce co2 infractions

Another has the - MgCO3
Combines the aqueos co2
Then performs a ( solar powered ) energy electrolysis
capturing only the carbon

Carbon end product - would/could result in carbon soot - coal
clean coal - no O2 attached - no gas

Gov't pays xxx amount of tonne per carbon capture.
By 2030 carbon sequestering pays - $133/tonne

MgCO3 with aq CO2 = instant
Down time would revolve around - electrolysis

One might use steam
Or, low furnace heat
These two methods would require splitting of O2 from Carbon
These two methods could be quicker

If tweaked,
one could/might seaparate all other,
end up with MgO
---------------------------------------------------------------

While on the flip.... MgCO3 on its own,  apparently is used
as is for fertilizer, guess the acids in soil or, organisms breakdown
the Mg inorder for plants to digest.

I did come across another research paper saying,
An oxide can be assililated by plants.
Not, metal.
Big diff.


----------------------------------------------------------------

I could go a step further
Don't use MgCO3

Simply ask, clients to contain their Co2 in ( water )

At present....wink...
Industry has several hurdles managing the co2
Present models cannot seq fast enough with amount
of tonnage mined.

PRESENT MODELS
Forced co2 in air chambers
Open air ( capture co2 ) from atmosphere ( slow )
Liquid aqueous co2 is ( instand bonding with water )
Salt dome chambers underground

AN IDEA ?
Have companies seq co2 in water.
Some companies could port their co2 into water
creating cabonic acidic water

Carbonic acid water = sent to ( facility ) that uses green power to
seaparate the carbon from - water.

- client provides  fee to seaparate
- Gov't provides fee to sequester

If these two fees could ramp up to $400-$500/tonne
One might create a new industry service if positioned in
close vicinity to companies that produce carbon.


The aqueous carbon,
was my idea i was going to share with a nickel co.
But....i don't think they have the skill sets....
Everything they do is, 3rd party consult.
And... 3rd parties are nowhere near the idea mentioned snove.

It's rather - ingenious
Allows, for mass co2 tonnage seq.
Way better than the present ideas - circulating round.
Most low grade nickel juniors need to process mega tonnage
but.... the co2 capture will not  keep up with mega tonnes mined
= mass ores left ( above ground ) waiting for co2 sequestration.

And....
Low grade nickel deposits will need the assistence of,
co2 capture profits tied to their, serpentine mg. to create a
profit....they'll need a co2 seq mass format.
Aq co2 is that answr.
You heard it first - here - - date stamp.


Cheers....

I'd like to see better studies on, magnesium bicarbonate
I'm thinkng.... there's got to be a way to convert this to a salt
and formulate a granule fertilizer...?

Why do so ?
One could profit by way of, adding more co2 to mgco3
At a future tense $133/tonne
That could assist with all the more profits.

And, if at all times co2 contained, VIA bonds,
until plant uptake, then, co2 sq was attained.

Also, the one study mentioned,
Mg(HCO3)2 was ( spun at high revolution ) and heated.

If anyone knows, spinning slow creates bonding
Spinning at high revolutions creates dissolution, seaparation.
Hence - i think the study or research was skewed.
High revolution = forced separation.


Correction last post -
Soda Ash formula

Na2CO3

Copy paste did not input the numerical numbers.
Lots of issues with my computer lately, entire keyboard
doesn't work...have to type using onscreen keys...
Not fun.
