03 — PROCESS FLOW / SIMULATED ENVIRONMENT
One hypothetical loop. Many unknowns.
Illustrative stage-by-stage material accounting — not a validated chemical process.
SCENARIO
SIMULATED / ILLUSTRATIVE: Inputs and outputs below use the full 10-minute scenario. No physical chemical experiment has been performed.
STAGE 01 · SIMULATED
CO₂ feed
Virtual inlet gas supplies the chosen scenario mass. Gas flow and mass feed are independent illustrative inputs.
10.00 g CO₂ / 10 minNo gas composition, density or flow calibration implied.
STAGE 02 · SIMULATED
Virtual reaction chamber
Ga–In conceptual pool with a user-assumed conversion. Temperature and pressure do not determine kinetics.
65% conversion · 6.50 g convertedHypothetical equation: 3CO₂ + 4Ga → 3C + 2Ga₂O₃. Not proof of reaction.
STAGE 03 · SIMULATED
Simulated product separation
Converted carbon-equivalent is allocated between selected solid carbon and an unspecified other-product carbon-equivalent.
1.242 g solid-carbon scenario estimate70% assumed selectivity. Actual carbon yield and CO production unknown.
STAGE 04 · SIMULATED
Metal oxide recovery
Ga-equivalent throughput is calculated only for the assumed converted CO₂; indium chemistry is not modeled.
13.73 g Ga-equivalent throughputOxide, separation and metal speciation are not established. Other-product chemistry is unspecified.
STAGE 05 · SIMULATED
Solar-electric regeneration
Illustrative solar energy is compared with a chosen hypothetical specific-energy requirement.
0.110 kWh assumed demandIdealized Ga₂O₃ → 2Ga + 3/2 O₂. Energy losses, heating and storage are omitted. Feasibility unknown.
STAGE 06 · SIMULATED
Recovered metal loop
The selected recovery fraction splits Ga-equivalent throughput into recovery and loss.
12.36 g recovered · 1.37 g loss90% user-chosen recovery. Recycling performance remains unverified.
