Abstract: An electrochemical procedure for the synthesis of carbon chain polymers from coal combustion emissions is presented. A coulostatic current surge is electrochemically generated at 1 second intervals by oxidation of finite quantities of reduced alkaline metal electrolytic fuels. The oxidation procedure occurs within a flowing circuit of heated CO2 carrier gas. Electrons (e−) and protons (H+) are formed in the immediate presence of contiguous CO2 molecules. The protons (H+) formed become lodged within the structural interstice of the CO2 molecules forming positive charged electrophilic univalent aldehydes (CO2H+) are brought together again between negative charged plates of an anodal stabilization chamber to form specific carbon chain polymers at specific converging harmonic frequencies.

Abstract: Monatomic metal anions are generated in the gas phase by collision-induced dissociation of the anions [26] of a dicarboxylic acid salt of the metal. This method is applicable to a number of metals, including sodium, potassium, cesium, and silver. The metal anions produced in this way can subsequently be stored in an ion trap [88] or transmitted as a focused beam [52]. The metal anions of this invention undergo collisional cooling and have low kinetic energy, which distinguishes them from ions produced by other high energy processes (with kinetic energy in excess of 1 keV). Metal anions so produced can be used to pattern nanoscale features on surfaces [56], used as electron transfer agents or reducing agents in ion-molecule reactions, or used for surface [122] modification of biomaterials [124].
