 This thread was intended to have been a place of scientific discussion about fossil fuel substitution for reduced emission of CO2, mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, etc, to the atmosphere. Topics ranging from exploiting/subsidizing the abundant supply of inexpensive methane as a substitute for coal in power plants, to oxidizing fuel for energy using something other than oxygen as terminal electron acceptor (oxidant), thereby emitting something other than carbon dioxide as the waste product. For example, methane could be fed to sulfate reducing bacteria bred in sea water under low oxygen conditions to generate alkalinity (as bicarbonate and carbonate ions) rather than CO2 as the oxidized inorganic carbon product. This could be flushed to the sea to counteract ocean acidification. The bacterial biomass could be harvested for fuel, livestock feed, and fertilizer. CO2 emissions from bacterial diesel would be more than offset by the alkalinity generated by the methane oxidizing, sulfate reducing bacteria. As for the picture that another member kindly posted... I began initial development of this spiral version of the Periodic Table of Elements while I was a chemistry instructor at a tribal college in northern California, 25 years ago. The Native American students were having trouble making sense of the Periodic Table. The continuity of the atomic numbers is not self evident. One must imagine the connection from the end of one line on the right side, to the beginning of the next line below on the left side, in order to follow the continuity of atomic numbers in the Periodic Table. This is further complicated by those two lines of elements shown separately at the bottom of the Periodic Table (lanthanide and actinides) To follow the continuity of atomic numbers, one must imagine a connection from the middle of one line above, to the left edge of one of the lines at the bottom, and then BACK UP to the middle of that line higher in the Periodic Table. When I started sketching the Periodic Table as a SPIRAL up on the whiteboard, all the students suddenly seemed to get it. Suddenly, the continuity of atomic numbers was obvious to them. The spatial organization of the Periodic Table of Elements finally made sense. I later developed it into a teaching tool. A good quick test of whether or not a student understood the Periodic Table was to see if they could explain how the spiral version showed exactly the same thing, only with a different spatial orientation. The poster version shows the Periodic Table of Elements immediately below the Cyclical Continuum of Elemental Properties, in the same color scheme. The Noble gases, column 18 on the far right of the Periodic Table of Elements, is colored sky blue. Arc 18 of the Cyclical Continuum of Elemental Properties, colored sky blue, comes down to where it meets column 18 in the underlying Periodic Table. One can follow the sky blue arc and column from top to bottom, see where the sky blue 18s meet in the middle, and be oriented to how the two presentations of elemental information are the same. |

This thread was intended to have been a place of scientific discussion about fossil fuel substitution for reduced emission of CO2, mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, etc, to the atmosphere. Sulfur is the most common "impurity" in "dirty" coal. And "clean coal" is a meaningless buzzword used for propaganda. Topics ranging from exploiting/subsidizing the abundant supply of inexpensive methane as a substitute for coal in power plants, to oxidizing fuel for energy using something other than oxygen as terminal electron acceptor (oxidant), thereby emitting something other than carbon dioxide as the waste product. For example, methane could be fed to sulfate reducing bacteria bred in sea water under low oxygen conditions to generate alkalinity (as carbonate ions) rather than CO2 as the oxidized inorganic carbon product. This carbonate ion "waste" could be flushed to the sea to counteract ocean acidification. The bacterial biomass could be harvested for fuel, livestock feed, and fertilizer. CO2 emissions from bacterial diesel or jet fuel would be offset many times by the alkalinity generated by the methane oxidizing, sulfate reducing bacteria.
