December 22, 1990 WASTE1.ASC -------------------------------------------------------------------- Microwaves for Toxic Waste Treatment IIT Research Institute in Chicago has developed a process which can literally cook toxic waste right out of soil. The soil is heated to temperatures as high as 350 degrees F. Tests carried out at a Madison, Wisconsin Air Force base showed that almost 99 percent of the jet fuel, chlorinated hydrocarbons and waste oils in 30 tons of contaminated soil were successfully removed. Tubular electrodes are inserted to a depth of six feet in a waste containment area or laid across the top of the area. The soil is heated up when the electrodes are excited by radio- frequency energy. The process is similar to the heating within a microwave oven except that this process uses much lower frequencies. During the cooking process, water and hazardous components contained in the soil are rapidly evaporated. These vapors are collected and condensed by being passed through a bed of activated charcoal which is then removed from the site. The system is said to be able to clean up a polluted site for one third to one half the cost of current cleanup processes. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Vangard note... We understand that a process of purifying water has been developed in Virginia which uses EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGE pulses. As we understand it, the charges cause the water to rapidly polarize and drop any contaminants in the process. You could call it "electro-stricture". We have also heard that the water has health restoring properties. One of the stories about the water had to do with a dog very infected with mange. The great majority of the dog's hair had fallen out and the animal was sickly to boot. Bathing the dog in this water as well as feeding it the water caused the hair to grow back, the mange disappeared and the animal completely recovered. Page 1 Another indication was that it might have rejuvenation abilities. We have no further information beyond these little tidbits at this time, although we understand the man has a patent and a large working machine currently stored in a warehouse. He needs about $30,000 ? to get the working machine released. It is possible that the water structure is somehow changed to allow a higher electrical charge accumulation (zeta potential) through increasing the effective surface area (as in colloids). We will add further information to this file as it comes in. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
