Electromagnetic volatilization of minerals

Abstract

Extracting natural occurring volatile minerals using external and internal electromagnetic fields. FIG. 1 & FIG. 2 : By passing the volatile solutions ( 23 ) and feed materials ( 126 ) through a closed container ( 14 )( 128 ) in the proximity of a electromagnetic field or corona. The electromagnetic field consists of electrodes placed on appropriate material either on the inside or the outside of the metal container ( 14 )( 128 ) and energized. Volatile gases are sent to recovery. FIG. 3 : Feed materials ( 212 ) can be fed on a enclosed conveyer ( 214 ) beneath a wrapped rod tube electrode ( 218 ) suspended above and lengthwise of the belt. Volatile gases are drawn off the top of the metal container ( 128 ) and sent to recovery. FIG. 4: An electromagnetic probe ( 304 ) is inserted into a bore hole ( 302 ). When energized volatile gases are trapped in a cone shaped cover ( 306 ) or other appropriate containment covering the top of the bore hole ( 302 ) and sent to recovery.
