Catalytic reactor for volatile minerals

Abstract

This is a process of trapping natural occurring volatile gases carrying precious and other minerals in a semi-stable form. Gases trapped and carried through a container 318 apparatus to the catalytic reactor container 410 where volatile minerals are contained on an appropriate configuration of collecting media 434 . A positive electrode 460 from a electrical source 430 is wrapped on the catalytic reactor container 410 in a appropriate configuration to induce a electromagnetic field. The positive electrode 460 from the catalytic reactor container is controlled by a rheostat 470 . From the rheostat 470 to the electrical device causing the current draw 425 . When the rheostat 470 is energized on the catalytic reactor container 410 , electromagnet fields of varying intensity controlled by the rheostat are formed. Precious metals can be re-volatilized either singularly or in groups and drawn into the recovery circuit. Leaving most of the volatile elements still in the collecting media 434 . The catalytic reactor container 410 containing the collecting media 434 can be cleaned of volatile minerals and reused many times. By introducing large amounts of amperage to the catalytic reactor container 410 will volatilize all remaining volatile minerals from the collecting media 434 . The catalytic reactor container 410 along with the collecting media 434 can be but back in the collecting circuit again free of volatile minerals.
