Open TechLord22 opened 1 year ago

TechLord22 commented 1 year ago

Details

This process separates the very rare Ca-48 from natural Calcium.

Products

Main Product: Calcium-48 Side Product(s): None

Steps

Phenol (l) + Hydrogen Peroxide (l) -> 14 Catechol (s) + Water (l) C6H5OH (l) + H2O2 (l) -> C6H6O2 (s) + H2O (l)

2 Ethanol (l) + Sulfuric Acid (aq) + Circuit 2 -> Diethyl Ether (l) + Dilute Sulfuric Acid (this is also used for anesthesia) 2C2H5OH (l) -> C4H10O (l) + H2O (l)

Diethyl Ether (l) + 4 Chlorine (g) -> Bis(chloroethyl) Ether (l) + 2 Hydrochloric Acid (l) C4H10O (l) + 4Cl (g) -> C4H8Cl2O (l) + 2HCl (l)

28 Catechol (s) + 2 Bis(chloroethyl) Ether (l) + 12 Sodium Hydroxide (s) -> Dibenzo-18-crown-6 Ether (l) + 4 Salt Water (l) 2C6H6O2 (s) + 2C4H8Cl2O (l) + 4NaOH (s) -> C20H24O6 (l) + 4NaCl (aq) + 4H2O (l)

Dibenzo-18-crown-6 Ether + Bisphenol A + Formaldehyde + Silicon Dioxide -> Calcium Enrichment Sieves

Calcium (s) + 2 Chlorine (g) -> 3 Calcium Chloride (s) Ca (s) + 2Cl (g) -> CaCl2 (s)

3 Calcium Chloride + Hydrochloric Acid + Calcium Enrichment Sieves -> X Calcium-40 + 1-X Calcium-48

Yield

TBD
