  Oxidation and/or Reduction of a Substance Using an Atomic−Reticular Filter in the Vaccum, from Glucose Reducing to Cellulose, from Benzene to Plastic, from Organic Substance in the Soil to Bitumen, in Alternative Ways
  Author(s): Giovanna D’Alonzo*
  
  Starting from the first principle of thermodynamics which states that nothing is created, nothing is destroyed but everything is transformed, we can try to transform substances into other substances by exposing them to the flow of hydrogen ions and electrons with a reticular-atomic filter in a vacuum. Obviously the first law of thermodynamics concerns isolated systems. I therefore thought that from a great substance that incorporates at least two substances, one substance can be transformed into the other. For example, a tree consists of both cellulose in its trunk and chlorophyll which can be extracted from green leaves. I hypothesized techniques to transform the glucose reducing into cellulose in an alternative way. Another example could be soil and subsoil which contain both oil and organic matter in the soil, both of which are composed mainly of carbon, hyd.. Read More»
