And a third of the world manganese comes from South Africa. Might be good to know a guy from there...
The headline says “set to transform.” By the first paragraph that pronouncement has devolved to “could lead to.” Typical overhype. So predictable. Wake me up when the first article to include one of these things appears: $.
Without a verifiable cost analysis, it might as we be a politician’s promise.
The GGE of gasoline is about 114,00 BTU’s.
The GGE of electricity is 3,400 BTU’s.
Researchers have developed a sustainable …Stopped reading at that word.
But but...just four days ago we were told silver prices were going to skyrocket because of Samsungs new SS car battery.
i lost count of the “coulds” in the article ...
My mind was confused between Manganese and Magnesium. Having seen the results of both a Li-ion battery fire and a magnesium fire, my first thought was if you mixed the two you could have the most devastating fire imaginable!
But it's manganese, not magnesium, I reasoned. False alarm, says I.
But wait --- it turns out manganese can be extremely flammable, too!
Still, I'm no chemist. It could be inert and safe, far as I know.
...in ten years, right??
I can’t help but think that looks like a big frying pan.
The ocean floors are littered with polymetal nodules the main element in them is manganese more than humans could ever conceivable use billions of tonnes worth they form naturally overtime and are constantly being made and growing as see sediment covers older nodules new ones form on the surface of the sediments this also means there is layer upon layer of them under the seabed not just on the surface of the deep seabeds.
Another battery breakthrough. I see one about every 3 months, and never hear about any of them again. Hope this works.
