Scientists in Lyon, a French city famed for its cuisine, have discovered a quick-cook recipe for copious volumes of hydrogen (H2).
The breakthrough suggests a better way of producing the hydrogen. Nature produces hydrogen through “serpentinization.” When water meets the ubiquitous mineral olivine under pressure, the rock absorbs mostly oxygen (O) atoms from H2O, transforming olivine into another mineral, serpentine.
In a microscopic high-pressure cooker called a diamond anvil cell combine ingredients: aluminum oxide, water, and the magnesium base mineral olivine. Set at 200 to 300 degrees Celsius and 2 kilobars pressure—comparable to conditions found at twice the depth of the deepest ocean. Cook for 24 hours. And voilà.
Magnesium, olivine can make a significant contribution in the fight against climate change: Peter Kelemen from the University of Columbia and other Scientists have known for some time that in geological periods immediately following the creation of mountain ranges the level of CO2 in the atmosphere drops significantly. This is because plate tectonics (or continental drift) which creates these mountains does so by pushing hot magma through the crust and exposing it to the atmosphere.
Magnesium Silicate has an incredible affinity with CO2. It requires heat to kick start the reaction but, after that, it is exothermic and fuels itself. It will keep going until either the Olivine or the CO2 runs out. To give you an idea of how powerful this affinity is, it is estimated that 1 cubic kilometer of olivine is capable of removing an amazing 4 billion tons of CO2. When you consider that CO2 is around 1000 larger in volume than liquid (or solid) CO2 then the volume of gaseous CO2 capable of being held by 1 cubic km of Olivine is quite unbelievable.
World produces around 30 billion tons of CO2 each year. So if 1 kilometer of magnesium olivine could be encouraged to fully combine with CO2 every 6 or 7 weeks it would completely wipe out man’s entire CO2 production!

What is stronger magnesium or titanium? ›Titanium. Titanium is significantly stronger than both aluminium and magnesium, although its higher density means that strength-to-weight ratios for the three metals tend to be similar. It is often the first port of call for engineers looking to replace steel in a lightweighting exercise for stressed components.
Is magnesium alloy explosive? ›Magnesium metal and alloys are highly flammable in their pure form when molten, as a powder, or in ribbon form. Burning or molten magnesium metal reacts violently with water. Magnesium powder is an explosive hazard.
What alloys are lightweight and strong? ›Aluminum and aluminum alloys are non-ferrous metals that are lightweight and characterized by excellent strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance.
Is magnesium a strong metal? ›Magnesium's characteristics are similar to its sister metal aluminum. It not only has the lowest density of all metal elements, making it the lightest, but it is also very strong, highly resistant to corrosion and easily machinable.
