[Gasification] conversion of CO2 into methane (Off Topic)

[Doug Williams]

Hi Rolf and Colleagues,

I'm also in to learn more from specialist input, so will continue to
contribute.

Rolf you asked:

The answer is obviously as in my original posting.

We are talking about a single cell that became mutations of all life
forms. It would appear to me that light from the Sun, even if just a
speck in the sky, would have a wave length that eventually reacts with
the single cell stirring it's ability to begin Mitosis (splitting of
the cell). What is not appreciated is that the cell itself is a
smaller molecular construction, and the science of that is not easily
understood on how this may affect cellular evolution  once exposed to
very strong light from a close Sun like our own.

In the forms that I have seen them at work, by adding oxygen as
available from atmospheric air, dairy waste water will clean up to
become clear water and CO2. In it's other application, Carbon Monoxide
(CO) is converted to Methanol (CH4O), but not sure what the emission
became. Both were in water filled bacterial habitats filled with
Zeolite. This porous rock would have plenty of locked up chemistry to
access, allowing mutations. All we are in the end is just a compressed
gas cloud with a bit of mineral dust!

I'm not a Chemist folks, just a participant (:-)

More anyone one else can offer?
