Template-assisted and epitaxial crystallization

Catalytic water treatment pseudoscience.

…”If a true catalytic scale-precipitation process exists, it would probably fall into these categories. A number of devices claim to work by providing a special surface on which carbonate scale preferentially deposits. This process is known as epitaxial crystallization, and is widely used in the semiconductor industry but has never been reported for aqueous solutions — and thus, as a means of scale control.

The term template-assisted crystallization (TAC) would at first sight appear to be a synonym for this process, but promoters of water treatment devices that are described as employing TAC assert that this is not the case. TAC media consist of polymer beads whose surfaces have been chemically treated in such a way that the resulting cavities, presumably owing to their carefully-controlled size, provide sites in which accumulation of Ca2+ and HCO32– ions and subsequent formation of CaCO3 (a process that chemists call nucleation) is energetically more favorable than nucleation that takes place within the water itself — a process that is known to procede with difficulty, thus allowing scale to form on metallic surfaces.

Although the efficacy and limitations of TAC have not yet been reported in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, there is some evidence that this methodology just might work:”…

BASICALLY I WILL SUMMARIZE THE PROBLEM FOR THE SEMI-CONDUCTOR INDUSTRY

MINIATURIZATION OF SEMI-CONDUCTORS RESULTS IN CONTAMINATES, RIGHT ?

CRITICAL ANSWER IS…. ONE MOMENT HERE, I’M RELISHING THE IRONY OF THE SITUATION, OMG

OKAY, A LITTLE BIT MORE COMPOSED, CRITICAL ANSWER IS

USE WAVES IN SUCH A MANNER DURING FABRICATION TO RESULTS IN WAVE INTERFERENCE PATTERNS THAT DEALS WITH THE CONTAMINATING “PRODUCTS”

WAVES ARE OBVIOUSLY DIRECTLY EITHER THE INVERSE OF THE ‘HEAT’ SIGNATURES OF THE CONTAMINATES OR EXACTLY THE SAME.

THINK POLARITIES IN THESE CASES.

SIMPLE ENOUGH

YOU CAN THANK ME LATER WITH A HUGE CHEQUE TO MY FAVOURITE CHARITIES – BORAMI AND DHARMA

YOU’RE WELCOME

OKAY OKAY OKAY…. SO IT’S A BIT LOPSIDED AND LOADED IN TERMS OF AN ANSWER.

ACTUALLY A TEST OF YOUR SMARTS.

FORGIVE ME, I GAVE YOU HALF AN ANSWER. SOLVE THIS FIRST AND THEN IF YOU’RE ONTO SOMETHING AND STILL DON’T GET IT, GET IN TOUCH WITH ME DIRECTLY FOR THE ANSWER AND THE CHEQUE.

A LITTLE BIT OF CONSCIENCE CREPT INTO THE EQUATION

SORRY

:~)
