Abstract: A system for processing ores is provided. The system includes a bubble collapse mill and a control system that interacts with an external system to evaluate and manipulate the processing of an ore.

Abstract: A system and method for processing aqueous solutions is provided. A method for controlled bubble collapse is provided, which catalyzes chemical reactions in aqueous solutions that cause metal and other ions and compounds in solution to form hydroxide, oxide, protonated, polyatomic and other stable precipitate species, compounds or complexes. The reactions convert metal ions in solution into stable metal hydroxide, oxide and other precipitates or solid complexes. Further processing including recirculation, detention, precipitate formation and detection can be utilized. Pressure and flow modulated and regulated recirculation of precipitate laden aqueous solution through a hydrocyclone particle or precipitate separation circuit can also be utilized.

Abstract: A pump system and controller for a chemical reactor for converting water and carbon dioxide into a fuel gas is provided. Carbon dioxide gas bubbles are created and introduced into pumped water and delivered to a regenerative turbine pump where bubbles are collapsed to produce an ionized gas and ionized liquid mixture containing hydrogen, hydroxyl radicals and hydroxide, which subsequently react with the carbon dioxide gas present in the bubble, reducing it to carbon monoxide, with further reactions yielding methane.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to produce gas vapor bubbles in a liquid media and collapsing the bubble to create a plasma hot spot. Generated bubbles are introduced and collapsing the bubbles results in the partial or total conversion of the internal and boundary layer gas and liquid phase content of the bubble to plasma, ionized gas and ionized liquid. Consequently, a change or increase in the reactivity of the elements and compounds in the gas or liquid phases of the bubble and the surrounding liquid media occurs.
