Talk:Biochemicals from Pyrolysis
Possible OSE Protocol (under development and up for debate)
Regarding this, fractional distillation will work, and I will gladly work on this, if given the chance. I think the first chemical that should be sought first is hydrofluoric acid, due to the natural scarcity of fluorine, and its importance for the aluminum cycle. In the context of permaculture, tea (which happens to be one of my favorite beverages)is notable for its concentration of fluorides in the leaves. Due to the nature of the regolith there and the abundance of clays in the meander scars (which are quite visible in a software package for viewing the topography of the area), I think it could be a viable way to produce aluminum. Obviously, it would need to be assessed and implemented with the utmost environmental care, but feasible, nonetheless.James Clark 12:29, 15 June 2011 (PDT)
