Bio-Periodic Table
The Bio-Periodic Table of Elements
The Periodic Table is an arrangement of the elements by increasing atomic number. The elements that have similar chemical properties are in the same column.
This perspective highlights the 26 elements most important for living organisms. These include the big 6: Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulphur.
The rest are generally considered trace elements. They are often very important but needed in much smaller amounts.
Rare Earth Elements (REES)
REEs refer to a group of 17 unique chemical elements, called Lanthanides comprising of 15 elements, plus scandium and yttrium, who have similar physical & chemical properties.
REEs are often separated into two sub-groups based on atomic weight. The first of these sub-groups, the light REEs, is comprised of lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium and samarium (atomic number 57 to 62).
The second sub-group, the heavy REEs, is comprised of the lanthanides with an atomic number ranging from 63 to 71: europium, gadolinium, terbium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium plus scandium (#21) and yttrium (#39).
The unique chemical and physical properties of REEs have positioned them as a critical material across a number of rapidly evolving markets and industrial applications.
Global demand for REEs has grown significantly, driven by their use in permanent magnets, namely neodymium, praseodymium, samarium, gadolinium, terbium and dysprosium, in key markets including electric vehicles (EVs), mobile phones and renewable/green technologies.
China is responsible for over 90% of annual global REE sales. The anticipated growth in global demand is dependent on the entry of new REE producers to fill the demand gap left by an anticipated reduction in exports from China, because they remain firmly focused on its domestic supply/demand balance and achieve a situation where domestic producers and consumers of REEs are both able to profit and expand.
Thus, China’s near monopoly over REE supply causes many end-use manufacturers outside China to support the development of supply-sources somewhere else.
However, their success depends on favorable market prices that can offset the large operating and capital costs and many years of preparation and technological development that is associated with mining and refining rare earths.
Microbial Transmutation of Elements
Chemical transmutation, was first heard within the occult science known as alchemy. New technologies have been deliberately suppressed in the West by patent acquisition and then shelving.
However, in 2016, a group of Rosatom theoretical and experimental scientists have announced a historic technology to transmute any element into another element in the periodic table, and beyond.
The transmutation is biochemical in nature, thus without nuclear reactors and heavy water.
The repercussions of this revolution will be felt in the energy sector, medicine, industry and other new industries, that will have enormous humanitarian implications.
This technology is a patented (RU 2563511 in 2015) ready-made industrial approach that will be capable of producing target products in industrial quantities in a matter of months.
Google translation from Russian into English:
In this process:
- The first component used is ore, or nuclear waste.
- The second component is a valuable valency metal such as vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, or others.
- The third component is bacteria. Usually iron and sulphur-reducing bacterial species are used, whereby the bacteria have to be:
- active,
- resistant to radiation,
- being able to adapt to a heavily salted solution, suspended in water.
The Technology
Any ore, or nuclear waste is processed by bacteria in the presence of valuable valency elements in any closed vessel.
The bio-transmutation process kicks off immediately, and proceeds stage by stage for 2-3 weeks until the target elements are obtained, or continued until stable isotopes are obtained as the end product.
The invention relates to producing certain chemical elements from other elements, particularly rare and valuable but super-expensive elements, such as polonium, radon, francium, radium, actinium, thorium, protactinium, uranium, neptunium, americium and their isotopes, as well as nickel, manganese, bromine, hafnium, ytterbium, mercury, gold, platinum, etc., and their isotopes.
The advantage of this new method is to obtain a high quality product which is designed for use in stand-alone sources of electrical energy, in the detectors of explosives, etc.
The reproducibility of the results was confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis of the elements’ isotopic composition.
The currently used methods:
- need nuclear reactions.
- use sophisticated equipment,
- produce only micro-amounts,
- go very slow,
- are very complex, very expensive, and unsafe.
Therefore, they are not suitable for large scale technical and industrial applications.
A microbial transmutation process:
- allows for almost unlimited quantities,
- is simple to perform,
- is safe for workers and the public,
- is done in an environmentally friendly way that does not require large material flow rates, heat, electricity and heating,
- is able to solve civilization’s industrial, technical and scientific problems.
An example is the rod-shaped bacterium Thiobacillus that oxidizes sulphur. It is living in sewage, water, and soil, and used in bio-mining.
