Chemonuclear Transmutation and Noble Metal Synthesis
In the system of metallike hydride-electron donor mixtures, adsorbed hydrogen atoms are transformed into metallic states and alloyed. Dense itinerary s-electrons supplied by the electron donor cause a drop in the melting point of metallic hydrogen. As a result, this system reveals thermodynamical liquid activity. The coherent D2-D2 fusion and the D3-D3 chemonuclear fusion are enhanced with factors of 20 to 30 and 30 to 46 figures of magnitude respectively at T=460 K, hence the production of intense He ions of 23.8 MeV kinetic energy. The ions or alpha-particles induce enhanced cascade chemonuclear reactions towards diverse and useful element synthesis. This phenomenon is in the nature of the Big Bang nucleosynthesis that takes place in an inhomogeneous universe. An application of the alpha-induced chemonuclear reaction - i.e., the transmutation of 90Sr and 137Cs - is prescribed in this chapter. This system of metallike hydride-electron donor mixtures raises the possibility of radioactive waste vanishment. Stimulated by alpha-particle irradiation, trans-gold nuclei undergo exothermic alpha-cluster emissions, producing coherently line-up alpha-clusters. In the chemonuclear D-D fusion, the 4alpha-cluster reveals the thermodynamical activity of oxygen atoms. In the hydrogen-Ni nanopowder-Li mixtures, dispersively charged trans-gold atoms undergo enhanced chemonuclear alpha-cluster emissions, hence the mass synthesis of noble metals. The case of chemonuclear pion production is presented at the end of this chapter.
