November 21st, 2008 Nanominerals and Their Effect the Earth

What makes nanominerals different from the regular minerals?

For one, minerals possess a wide range of physical and chemical qualities because of its enormous range of structure and composition, such as particle size. Every mineral has its own set of unique physical and chemical characteristics.

Nanominerals, on the other hand, have one significant deviating variable: a range of physical and chemical properties that depends heavily on their size and shape. But this difference is what makes nanominerals do a certain fix on the earth itself. In their smallness lie the factors that have specific effects on the planet.

Along with its unique characteristics, nanominerals are widely distributed throughout the globe — the atmosphere, oceans, exposed and underground waterways, soils, and in almost all living organisms, even inside proteins.

On the ocean waters, nanominerals can react with the chemical compositions of its immediate surroundings, such as the formation of phytoplankton biominerals. The said substance is necessary in the process of oceanic and global carbon cycling.

Another benefit that involves nanominerals is the rapid oxidation and formation of minerals on land. The more nanominerals are present during the oxidation phase, the faster the process will be. Harmful heavy metals are also acted on by nanominerals as the tiny substances widely disperse heavy metals and move radioactive materials.

Up in the atmosphere, nanominerals have a huge impact on heating and cooling. Such particles help in the formation of water droplets in the air, which then lead to cloud formation. The size and density of droplets influence solar radiation and cloud longevity, which in turn affects average global temperatures.

Nanominerals Corp, founded by Chuck Ager (Charles Ager) is a mining company that uses technology in mining to extract trace deposits of gold, silver, and other precious metals from the earth. Dr. Chuck Ager has been a proponent of innovative, cost-efficient, and earth-friendly mining technology for over a dozen years.
