PURE SCIENCE GOLD! Russian Team's Patent For MAKING Rare Chemical Elements (inc. Gold & Platinum) Scientifically in Industrial Quantities Using Bacteria & Nuclear Waste! An End To the Gold/Platinum Markets?
A relatively unknown science team from Russia is planning to commercialise the results of their long term project to transform nuclear waste materials into other elements using a patented process that involves specific forms of bacteria to do the work!
In short, this is an industrial method for the transformation of chemical elements into other elements and their isotopes - Which will result in a revolution in technology and economics that is unprecedented in recorded human history! Not only can rare elements be created, but dangerous nuclear waste can be deactivated in the process too - win win!
A long line of researchers worked on these discoveries, allowing present researchers to succeed in chemical transmutation. The effects of the revolution are going to be as wide ranging as the effects of the use of electricity.
Representatives of the Russian corporate partnership called Actinedes, consisting of inventors Viktor Kurashov and Tamara Sakhno, and the administrator Vladislav Karabanov, gave a presentation to a Swiss Press Club in 2016, yet few have heard about this possible world changing project.
The Russian patent RU 2563511 awarded to Mrs. Tamara Sahno and Mr. Victor Kurashov - available at the Google Patent repository and at other patent sites: http://russianpatents.com/patent/256/2563511.html.
They state that modern research for the project began in 1990 and their most highly successful experiments occurred in 2013 - while the technology was patented in August 2015.
They use a combination of nuclear waste, specific bacteria and 'variable valency' elements such as valadium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, zinc and iron to create a sequential process that gradually converts the waste material into different, more desirable elements and isotopes.
Iron is typically used in the process as it is the cheapest to acquire.
The bacteria (Thiobacillus) are iron and sulphur reducing species that are active and resistant to radiation, plus that are adapted to a heavily salted solution.
Nuclear waste is processed by bacteria in the presence of variable valency elements in any closed vessel. The transmutation process begins immediately and continues over a period of weeks. The process is stopped as soon as the target elements are formed.
Which elements have been produced?
The process leads to obtaining polonium, radon, France, radium, actinium, thorium, protactinium, uranium, neptunium, americium, nickel, manganese, bromine, hafnium, ytterbium, mercury, gold, platinum, and their isotopes.
Natural uranium 238 leads to the formation of of thorium, actinium, protactinium, to the formation of valuable isotopes of thorium, actinium 227 and 225, then radium, francium, polonium.
Uranium also leads to the formation of valuable uranium isotopes, such as 235 and 233. The same chain proceeds using natural thorium as a source which is also quite cheap and is not being used presently – such as with natural uranium 238.
The 2nd approach for transmutation from uranium and plutonium, which are contained in obsolete nuclear warheads and nuclear waste forms Curium, Americium, Berkelium and Californium.
A 3rd approach produces Mercury, Gold, Platinum, Iridium, Rhenium, Hafnium and Terbium, which are formed as by-products of polonium decay.
Polonium is very expensive and it is used in satellites and space stations. The traditional process for creating Polonium is complicated and expensive. Russia sells around 9g of Polonium per year to the USA, whereas just through the process of experimentation the researchers were able to obtain polonium in gram quantities. They say they obtained about 30% of the entire Russian industrial output of Polonium just through their experiments. They also created various isotopes of Polonium that have short half lives which are extremely rare and costly normally.
The work has been peer reviewed by a panel of highly qualified, independent experts from other laboratories – analytical chemists and Doctors of science from analytical chemistry and physics.
What are the yields?
200mg of Actinium from 100g of Nuclear waste – which contains 300mg of Uranium 238.
If scaled to industrial volumes – a ton of nuclear waste contains 3kg of natural Uranium 238.
A small laboratory can have the same industrial output as the entire relevant sector of the United States.
Bacteria?
The Bacteria facilitates the moving of electrons and other atomic components, allowing the transformation of one element into another.
Intended Uses
General energy use, as well as in medicine and space exploration are among the wide range of currently envisioned uses.
Nuclear medicine uses radio isotopes and the demand is growing. The market for the technologies is currently hundreds of billions of dollars in size. Using biochemical transmutation will leave all other competitors in the supply of rare isotopes far behind.
A very wide range of potential uses for this technology exists and it opens the door to a new horizon of opportunities in science and creativity.

What do you think? Are we about to see a crash in the price of rare elements? What would this means for the power balance on Earth?

Thanks for the info. Sounds truly ingenious! I hope they can optimize the process for it to be utilized world-wide to reduce global nuclear waste burden, maybe rescue nuclear energy's reputation and make some valuable elements as an incentive.
Yes, it's a clever idea. Really the possibility to clean up the nuclear waste is the most important part of this in the short term. Converting it into gold is just the icing on the cake. :)
No idea how to even check the veracity of this, but just as a mental thought experiment, imagine the effects to the world in this situation.
Libya, Ukraine, and Iraq being overthrown by the States would still have happened for their primary anti US-hegemony chess moves: going off petrodollar, moving a chess piece too close to Russia when country is not strong inside, and petrodollar again (respectively). But the Empire would have had less of a literal 'gold mine' waiting for them to recoup their expenses after the Storm Troopers brought 'global happiness' missiles to the doorsteps. So I wonder to what degree these events still would have happened.
While you can't change the past, I do wonder how this would effect things in the world going forward. It seems like the general effects could be large as gold could be then used more frequently in cleaners, electronics, aerospace, and health products, and other uses we haven't thought of since the element wouldn't be priced out of range anymore.
It would also be super interesting how this would effect monetary instruments around the world. If there would be a return to gold-backed currencies en masse. Since you could create the currency itself (with some minor difficulty perhaps at a level in between mining and making nuclear weapons) but you are creating an actual usable substance (you could create jewelry, medical devices, etc.) that still has a level of scarcity. And not unlike fiat, where it's up to a 'body' to decide what to create, the only difference with this of course is that it has a tangible use and is not as easy as a piece of paper to be printed (although with technology enhancements, ultimately it may becomce that easy). Ultimately however, this would of course be corrupted, like anything else, if given to a private central bank for production. To avoid that...imagine an easier opensource 3d printed version of this alchemy.

Thanks for commenting. From my perspective, the real alchemical process is within the heart of living beings and cleans the Earth and the heart simultaneously. Once this is more widely understood, the real value of things will be found and these archaic notions of monetary value will fall away. :)
It's crazy to think about, given how effectively the idea of money has been brainwashed into us as our new global God; to think outside of this categorizes us as either silly at best or heretical at worst.
But yes it's also an interesting thought experiment (for me at least, this is the level it exists). It's good that people are talking about this interesting style as an alternative/objective - as I'll readily admit I need more education on this front.
Looking forward to your future posts. Following you now.
Great, thanks - it's definitely part of the ongoing process of liberation and balance for Earth that is often so obscured it appears to not even exist. ;)
Wow, so this is true alchemy! I guess it will come down to the economics if it is more economical to continue mining minerals or put the techniques mentioned in your post into production.
I just saw this other post which is digital alchemy :) ... gold backed cryptocurrencies. Maybe they should make a crypto based off of all these elements for the alchemy process - nuclear waste, specific bacteria and 'variable valency' elements such as valadium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, zinc and iron :) lol!
This was the report on gold backed cryptos.

hmm.. wastecoin doesn't really sound so appealing - but bugcoin sounds cute! ;)
Good point :)
wow, never seen how its work !!!! Thankss

I don't think gold's price will fall because of this even in the long run, simply because the energy we need to run our society now has a wealth byproduct, instead of one that just harms the environment.
I'm not sure I understand your meaning here. Price are determined largely by the supply and demand ratio. If there is a vastly more supply, then the price will fall.
I'm saying that if the rate of creation of the elements takes enough energy, perhaps the output may not be enough to completely take over the market supply, but merely be a slight addition to output by human miners. If that happens to be the case, then it may even be a good thing; a technology that turns our nuclear waste into objects that have value for others.
Scenario A: Say, if Elon Musk's wish came true and we made it to Mars and found that there's no precious metals on Mars (and we didn't want another fiat-based currency). Ship that machine over for it to generate a fixed amount of gold.
Scenario B: The world has too much radiation. We use the machine in huge numbers to "clean up" the world, for free. The people using the machine keep the metals and distributes them to whoever needs them for technologies, wealth buildup, etc.
So talking about the metal prices, I don't imagine it collapsing them.
