Revision as of 16:13, 8 April 2015
Ultimately damaged diamondoid AP products (microcomponents or macro sized parts) beyond the poit where they can be recycled often do hardly decay by themselves. If badly designed they may even release DME - splinters in the environment so they need to be burnt or disintegrated to reusable or harmless substances in an other way. Conventional furnaces will probably suffice but AP manufactured combustion cells for microcomponents or makro objects are desirable nontheless. They may be able to better filter combustion fumes and also better solve other issues. - Reseach needed.
For now a list of potential diamondoid refractory materials can be found at the "consistent design for external limiting factors" page.

Slacks
The oxides of the elements C,H,O,N,S are all gasses thus if the product to dispose of contains only those elements it can be completely burned to gasses. If other elements are included burning will produce an amorphous glassy slack which may be very hard to recycle.
Maybe possible ways to regain molecular feed-stocks from slack
- Heating parts up in a hot and dense hydrogen atmosphere might be usable to extend the list of elements that can be reverted to easy to process resource gasses. e.g. Silicon -> Silane.
- Melting slacks with sodium or shooting sodium ions in might do the trick since sodium compounds have a tendency to be water soluble - silicon and aluminum can be solvated that way.
Microcomponents
- Microcomponents are a lot easier to burn since their large surface area in relation to their volume.
- Also its easier too keep them free of elements that produce oxidic slacks. If documented they can be seperated regarding their composition and disposed of seperately such that elements do not mix too much.
- Microcomponents could maybe be put into a beam of ionized oxygen such that walls can be magnetically protected.
