You Betchya ! 1 - infancy of carbon building crystals ( phase ) very unique )
no one that i've come across has yet to mimic this natural metamorphis
micro crystalines / crystolites = graphene build blocks
carbon black + special recipe = of other carbon family elements....
2 - Carbon black judt on own.
No CO2 ( lab assay uses CO2 when in furnace to assist with measuring Carbon )
Natural Carbon black is ready to use - vs - CO2 carbon had very strong O2 bond
To break the CO2 bond one needs a pyrolysis furnace which costs = $$$ heat + labor
CO2 capture in atmosphere can be done but... very lil can be actully captured.
Capturing Co or CO2 fumes from fossil fuel still has long chain carbons, other gases
3 - Swap chemical reactions using Soda ( carbonated ) with say, lithium results in,
excess of another element such as, salts. Fixes one problem creates excess of another.
Hence Graphite deposits are extra special.
Yet... not being fully recognized as so, spot price wise.
USA loves to refine raw products from Canada. Our oil.
Our Petrol.
Chemicals.
Foods.
Etc...
I maybe wrong, but what do i think is going on ?
Quebec jr's commending US 25 % tarriffs does in a way suggest they're onboard
with US planning and purposing of, graphite. Even prior to US 25% tarriffs.
US pulling their wild card 25% tarriff allots US another 2 yrs to buy Chinese carbon.
Petcoke based - synthetic.
While deferring Cdn graphite another 2 yrs ( allows more time / control over Cdn graphite )
US DoD cracks such as LMR, places bandaide on issue making US still look good
yet, still drains jr - lmr has to matc DoD funding.
US GOLDEN CHILD ?
Graphite One - Alaska graphite deposit
More DoD funding given ( $49.8 million )
Whitehouse invite
Accellerated Feasibilty Study
And the Biggie ?
Special plans to set up graphite refining in.... drum roll.
Ohio.
Alaska to Ohio ?
What there's more...
This supposed plant will process synthetic graphite at first.
China ? lol
And... later, merge to natural graphite.
Ohio... is much closer to Quebec than... Alaska.
Canada can't get it's act together... hence Cdn jrs sit and wait for US,
or at best sell concentrates to US.
Cdn graphite Jr's with US pacifiers in mouth... rather sit and wait ?
Canada,
Or should Canada take the bull by the horns and make a ;
Graphite Tech Hub in, Quebec.
Each graphite junior devoting their graphite to diff tech's.
Battery anodes
Hydrogen electrodes
Diamond chips using ( infant crystalines or carbon in pur silica crystal )
Solar windows
Solar roof tiles, siding
Nuclear batteries ( safe beta )
Graphite shielding ( ccb has less graphite but achieved this grade % )
PULL AWAY
From US DoD and pair Canada's DoD to our own Graphite Jr's.
Along with Quebec Hydro.
In my opinion...
letting US lead -----> perhaps other ( sudden ) card hands played that will forever
place US with vantage. What if they... use the Ohio plant to keep on producing
synthetic carbon ?
See ?
So... why wait around with sweet promises from US, when there's no telling
how they'll change their policies, future plans.
Canada could pull their own National Security,
Stating Graphite is too important to sell to other countries.
We have nuclear reactors, too that need graphite shielding.
We have computers that need faster processing ( diamond chips )
Canada needs better green energy... which graphite could fill this niche.
Even VTOL ( ev air vehicles ) energy creation skins absorbing solar and lighht weight
graphite composites 10x stronger than... steel.
Fed
Quebec Provincial
Quebec Resource minister
= should they have a huddle meet ?
Quebec Graphite Hub ?
NOU services all Quebec juniiors ( far larger in scope ) than what NOU has now.
Not Concentrates.
Separate
separate - greasy carbon
separate - carbon black ( free roam )
separate - boron, phosphorus
separate - iron
separate - aluminum
All the elements above... Canada could have a hay day making ybrid diamond chips,
even adding lead or aluminum to graphite grease to produce hybrid super electrons.
Iron...?
Would canada not need stainless steel to make futuristic mono high speed rail ?
Our Canadian Graphite deposits are too important.
Pulling away from US now....ensure natural graphite has it's place in future.
Or... risk US pulling a quick one buying Cinese Syn Carbon and processing in
Ohio...
Question ?
If US and Canada are supposing to be pilling away from China...
Why is it.... they're affording two more yrs to buy Chinese graphite ?
Why are Canadian's and US finding it hard to buy items in stores.
Stores closing everywhere.
= Forced to buy online ( google, amazon, ebay, temu,)
= Most all Chinese products ( see how that works ) all the more support for China.
Ruse with,
Ukraine + Russia
Taiwan and China + US
= North American's fast asleep - NA stores closing - forces buying online - China goods.
What's going on in, Canada ?
