gold from the sea
In the early part of the 20 century, expressed the hope that chemists could develop a process to restore the pure gold of large quantities of sea water, making themselves and their country rich. Spent a German chemist Fritz Haber, inventor of the famous participant in the Haber process, Bush, part of his career in an attempt to extract the gold from the sea to pay the debt of Germany in the period after the First World War.
However, the lure of gold is great, people in all parts of history have spent their lives in an attempt to get it, either through theft, transmuting it from lead, or extract it from seawater. Of course, these pharmacies have failed in this endeavor. Do you successfully extract the gold require a series of centrifuges, a large and expensive so that the extracted gold will not be able to pay construction costs.
It turns out that the only metal that can be drawn from the Atlantic Ocean is profitable salt. Cubic miles of sea water value of salt, it turns out, is enough to supply the entire world to reach more than a year - 128 million tons. And is extracted from the collection of such information in areas where sea water evaporates, leaving behind salt deposits. Ancient Chinese did this as long as 3000 years ago. Today, it is to get most of the salt from salt water wells, salt domes, which were created millions of years ago when ancient seas evaporated.
Another mineral that has been successfully isolated in large quantities of sea water and manganese. In some areas of the world, covering the bottom of the ocean in several trillions of manganese nodules, the dust that has been resolved in the waters of the sea. In fact, as much as 1/1000th of sea water, by weight,
