Abstract: Extracting natural occurring volatile minerals using external and internal electromagnetic fields. FIG. 1 & FIG. 2: By passing the volatile solutions (23) and feed materials (126) through a closed container (14)(128) in the proximity of a electromagnetic field or corona. The electromagnetic field consists of electrodes placed on appropriate material either on the inside or the outside of the metal container (14)(128) and energized. Volatile gases are sent to recovery. FIG. 3: Feed materials (212) can be fed on a enclosed conveyer (214) beneath a wrapped rod tube electrode (218) suspended above and lengthwise of the belt. Volatile gases are drawn off the top of the metal container (128) and sent to recovery. FIG. 4: An electromagnetic probe (304) is inserted into a bore hole (302). When energized volatile gases are trapped in a cone shaped cover (306) or other appropriate containment covering the top of the bore hole (302) and sent to recovery.
