Introduction
Moleculoc is a proprietary blend of a mineral
called Amorphous Alumina Silicate.They
are aluminosilicateminerals and
have a microporous structure (pores smaller than 2 nm). Natural Silica forms
where volcanic
rocks and ash layers react with alkaline
groundwater.Amorphous Silica also
crystallize in post-depositional environments over periods ranging from
thousands to millions of years in shallow marine basins
Moleculoc has a porous structure that can accommodate a wide variety of cations, such as
Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and others.
These positive ions are rather loosely held and can readily be exchanged for
others in a contact solution. This property of positive and negative ions, when
used as a spill mitigation application, encapsulates the Hydrocarbon Molecules
and electronically binds those molecules to the Moleculoc product.
The micro-porous molecular structure of Moleculoc.
Moleculoc is an alumino silicate member of the family of micro porous solids
known as "molecular sieves." The term molecular
sieve refers to a particular property of these materials, i.e., the ability
to selectively sort molecules based primarily on a size exclusion process. This
is due to a very regular pore structure of molecular dimensions. The maximum
size of the molecular or ionic species that can enter the pores of a sieve is
controlled by the dimensions of the channels. These are conventionally defined
by the ring size of the aperture, where, for example, the term
"8-ring" refers to a closed loop that is built from 8 tetrahedral
coordinated silicon (or aluminum) atoms and 8 oxygen atoms. These rings are not
always perfectly symmetrical due to a variety of effects, including strain
induced by the bonding between units that are needed to produce the overall
structure, or coordination of some of the oxygen atoms of the rings to cations
within the structure. Therefore, the pores in many silica are not cylindrical.
Moleculoc has a proprietary formula to enhance its ability to capture these
molecules.
Sources Conventional open pit mining techniques around the world are
used to mine natural Amorphous Silicate. The topsoil is removed to allow access
to the ore, and then replaced for environmental reclamation. The ore may be
blasted or stripped for processing by using tractors equipped with ripper
blades and front-end loaders. In processing, the ore is crushed, dried, and
milled. The milled ore is then shipped in bags or bulk. Moleculoc's current
source is environmentally friendly with an extensive topsoil reclamation
program. Currently, the world’s annual production of natural Amorphous Silica
is about 4 million tons.
Since the principal raw material used to manufacture Moleculoc is Amorphous
Silica, which is among the most abundant mineral components on earth, the
potential to supply large quantities of Moleculoc is virtually unlimited.
Uses
Commercial and
Domestic
Amorphous Alumina Silicaare widely
used as ion-exchange beds in domestic and commercial water purification, softening, and other
applications. In chemistry, these sieves are used to separate molecules (only
molecules of certain sizes and shapes can pass through), as traps for molecules
so they can be analyzed.
Silicas have the potential of providing precise and specific separation of
gases including the removal of H2O, CO2 and SO2
from low-grade natural gas streams. Other separations include noble gases,
N2, O2, freon and formaldehyde.However, at present, the true potential to improve the handling of such
gases in this manner remains unknown.
Petrochemical industry Moleculoc confines petroleum molecules in small spaces, which causes
changes in their structure and reactivity. The Hydrogen (prepared by ion-exchange),
part of the Hydrocarbon molecule is then released harmlessly into the
atmosphere. The new molecule is now inert and can be safely discharged into a
land fill. Moleculoc also serves as a fire suppressant when broadcast over a
spill. Because it encapsulates the liquid, it interferes with the fumes
required for ignition. Moleculoc can be reused up to seven times before being
discarded to the landfill making it price efficient and an environmentally
sound product.
