| − | Potential [[feedstock]] materials for [[gem-gum factories]]. <br>
| + | |
| − | Insteal of a macroscopic volume of liquid cartridges could contain them micropackaged into microcapsules. <br>
| + | |
| − | This would change their risk profile regarding the expectable likelihood of and expectable damage level causes by eventual spills.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Microcapsules would also be a natural way to transport these resources via a [[global microcomponent redistribution system]] that is primarily meant for the [[recycing]] of [[microcomponents]].

| − | == Special cases ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * [[Acetylene]] – of particular interest due to it's [[low hydrogen content]].
| + | |
| − | * [[Methane]] – a bit much hydrogen. This will mostly be burned to water.
| + | |
| − | * [[Ethanol]] – big molecule – lots of disassembly needed.
| + | |
| − | * [[Carbon Disulfide]] CS<sub>2</sub> – not environment friendly – water free solvent
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Volatile elements right from the air ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * [[Carbon dioxide]] CO<sub>2</sub> – as a source for carbon (energy devoid)
| + | |
| − | * [[Nitrogen]] N<sub>2</sub> – (energy devoid)
| + | |
| − | * [[Oxygen]] O<sub>2</sub>
| + | |
| − | * [[Water]] H<sub>2</sub>O – as source for hydrogen (energy devoid)
| + | |
| − | * [[Argon]] – not really a building material but super abundant useful for [[Gem-gum balloon products|stabilizing structures by pressurization]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Mundane nontoxic salts ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * [[Salts of carbonic acid]]
| + | |
| − | * [[Salts of nitric acid]]
| + | |
| − | -----
| + | |
| − | * [[Salts of silicic acid]] – silicates don't like to be in solution - only with sodium or potassium this works halfway decent (sodium and potassium salts don't like to be unsoluble)
| + | |
| − | * [[Salts of phosphoric acid]] – phosporic acid is quite mundane (is uses in food) – many other phosphor compounds can be quite toxic
| + | |
| − | * [[Salts of sulphuric acid]] – mundane
| + | |
| − | -----
| + | |
| − | * [[Table Salt]] NaCl
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The alkali elements in there (Na,K) that are just added to keep the solution PH neutral (not acidic) are less useful for structural materials.
| + | |
| − | They do not like to form strong directed covalent bonds as they are needed in strong structural high performance materials.
| + | |
| − | So they may remain largely unused. Remnant lye (NaOH, KOH) can be neutralized with actively collected atmospheric CO2.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == More toxic salts ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * [[Salts of boric acid]]
| + | |
| − | * [[Sodium aluminates]] – There is no aluminic acid – just as slilicon aluminium hates to go into solution
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == Other mundane small molecules that could serve as resource carrieres ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * [[Urea]] – highly inert and nontoxic nitrogen carriere
| + | |
| − | * [[Dimethyl sulfide]] – sulfur carrier – strong smell (smell of the sea in low doses)
