The basic elements of HRCM project as the subject for public presentation and commercialization objects are the following items created by Academician V.I.Petrik:

• A unique substance – high reactivity carbon mixture (HRCM);
• Unique HRCM production technology;
• Technologies for HRCM application;
• Special products created on the basis of HRCM (filters fir

drinking water, filtration booms and other various filters, heat- protective and moisture-retaining materials, catalysis and process additives, medicinal means and preparations, etc);

• service and works related to HRCM production and

application. The high reactivity carbon mixture and technology for its production have been developed as a result of the scientific discovery made by Academician V.I.Petrik: “Phenomenon of generation of nanostructured carbon complexes” certified by the International association of the authors of scientific discoveries in 2001, Diploma No.163. Methods for commercial production and application of graphenes (HRCM) are protected by the following patents: RU2163883 30.09. 1999 Method for industrial production of a high reactivity carbon mixture by cold destruction and a device for its implementation”, 2 US 7,842,271 B2 30/11/2010 “Mass production

HRCM is a new substance of a certain class having no analogues in the world by physical, chemical, functional and economic characteristics as well as by ecological purity, versatility and variety of spheres of application.

The high reactivity carbon mixture (HRCM) is a homogeneous carbon mass consisting of graphenes being flat elements of graphite structure bonded by van der Waals’ forces as well as products of their chaotic coupling. The technology of HRCM production is also unique. HRCM is produced by the method of cold destruction of carbon laminated compounds into carbon clusters, graphenes. To this effect, chemical compounds being capable to explosive decomposition under external action (photochemical, mechanical, chemical, etc.) are placed into the interlayer spaces of the laminated carbon compounds, with subsequent initiation of the autocatalytic process of decomposition of the compound. The gaseous products of decomposition of the chemical compound being generated in the interlayer spaces destroy the carbon matrix with generation of individual two-dimensional carbon crystals (graphenes), which structure is complimentary to the structure of graphite’s basal plane.

In the photo: cold method for grapheme production. An exceptional peculiarity is that HRCM can be produced in commercial quantities in field conditions and requires no special hardware support. The delegation of Spanish scientists are acquainting themselves with the industrial method of graphene production, 2001.

The typical feature of divergent chemical reactions is the availability of limit phenomena consisting of the fact that in case of insignificant variation of a parameter (pressure, temperature, composition) a sharp change of the chemical reaction rate occurs. The use of special impurities initiating the autocatalytic acceleration of the chemical reaction or inhibiting the chemical reaction allows to regulate the rate of HRCM running production. Depending upon the rate of chemical reaction the degree of HRCM destruction varies as well as the changes occur in the content of graphenes, Graphite packets and various carbon aggregates being the result of their chaotic coupling. The use of special impurities initiating the autocatalytic acceleration of chemical reaction leads to the exponential growth of the rate of chemical reaction. Gaseous products of decomposition of chemical compounds actively emit HRCM from the reaction zone. A typical "plasma-like" glow is generated in the reaction zone.

The reaction is initiated by Nitin Gadkari the President of the Indian party

The industrial production of the main elements in the process line for the manufacture of HRCM, Cl2O7 high reactivity chemical compound, has been created, which synthesis is performed from NaCl in specially developed platinum electrolysers. Special compounds have been developed allowing to maintain the process of decomposition of the chemical compound contained in the interlayer spaces

Spanish scientists at the Cl2O7 production site. The high reactivity chemical compound is supplied from the electrolysis shop to special mixers for the treatment of graphite. Then graphite initiated is treated with stabilizing chemical compounds, after which it can be stored in the form of a concentrate for a long period of time in polyethylene containers at warehouses, at places with increased hazard of emergency spills of liquid hydrocarbons or any other hazardous chemical compounds,

• n marine vessels, etc.

The Golden Formula Holding LLC’s production site allows manufacturing HRCM in the amount of 300 tons per year. Properties of the high reactivity carbon mixture (HRCM) HRCM has unique physical and chemical characteristics, which causes the variety of their spheres of application. Unsurpassed sorption characteristics of HRCM have been virtually confirmed by the results of multiple full-scale tests (in various countries worldwide) as well as numerous expert examination studies conducted by competent national and international organisations. So, for example, comparative tests of HRCM sorption characteristics conducted in Excelchem Environmental Labs (USA) have shown that HRCM is superior by this characteristic than activated coconut charcoal GAC being the best on the American market by 50…200 times depending upon the liquid substance being under investigation. In particular, the HRCM sorption characteristics as to crude oil surpass GAC by 134,4 times, i.e. on gram of HRCM binds 67,2 grams of oil. It is notable that oil can be separated from HRCM, which allows using HRCM as a sorbent repeatedly.

In 2012 in the Nova Biotec research centre (Germany), on the initiative of Rospotrebnadzor, the comparative testing of five leading filter manufacturers has been performed. The tests were conducted with respect to 22 analytical

• parameters. The HRCM-based filters manufactured by Golden Formula

Holding LLC have been ranked first with respect to 22 parameters.

THE FEDERAL SERVICE FOR SUPERVISION OVER PROTECTION OF CONSUMER RIGHTS AND HUMAN WELFARE Press release dated 07.07.2011 Re: Golden Formula Water Treatment Systems. Hereby the Federal Service for Supervision over Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Welfare informs that a Federal State Institution of Science «F.F.Erisman Federal Scientific Center of Hygiene» of the Federal Service for Supervision over Protection of Consumer Rights and Human Welfare has undertaken a comparative study to evaluate the water treatment efficiency of household jug-type filters under five brands that are most widespread in the Russian Federation, i.e. «Aquafor», «Barrier», «Brita», «Geyser», «Golden Formula» (ZF-5) . As per a data of the study undertaken concerning 18 basic safety indicators, including phenol, arsenic, zinc, cadmium, nitrites, and lead, the highest efficiency has been recorded with a filter under «Golden Formula» (ZF-5) brand. Therefore, a «Golden Formula» filter has ensured the highest number of indicators under which the hygienic treatment efficiency has been recorded. THE FEDERAL SERVICE FOR SUPERVISION OVER PROTECTION OF CONSUMER RIGHTS AND HUMAN WELFARE Press Centre 19.06.12 On investigation of water purification systems The Federal service for supervision in the sphere of protection of consumer rights and human welfare continues conducting monitoring of the effectiveness of water purification systems of domestic manufacture. In March 2012 NovaBiotec Dr.Fechter GmbH, a German company, conducted the assessment of effectiveness of water purification systems produced by five Russian and foreign manufacturers. The conclusion states the following:

“The effectiveness of water purification was evaluated by 27 indicators, which comprised organoleptic characteristics (taste, colour, odour, turbidity), physical and chemical parameters (water oxidability, oxygen demand, acidity), content of organic chemical substances (benzene, chloroform, formaldehyde, carbon tetrachloride, etc.) as well as the content of heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, copper, zinc). The investigations have shown that ZF-5 filters have ranked first out of 27 by 22

• indicators. So ZF-5 filters under the Gold Formula trademark have demonstrated the

absolute advantage by the absorption. At the present time ion-exchanging resins are used in filters for removing metals from

• water. Nevertheless, in doing so the ion-exchanging resins demonstrate an undesirable

side effect, namely, they extract useful salts from water, for example, calcium, magnesium and potassium. In the given case we see a new phenomenon in water purification, namely, ZF-5 filters show the highest absorption activity with respect to heavy metals with the inertness to hardness salts being preserved. We believe that this phenomenon shall be considered as positive". Nova Biotec Dr.Fechter GmbH’s test laboratory has given a high rating to the filtration properties of the ZF-5 filter under the Gold Formula trademark.

Abnormal sorption properties of HRCM can be explained by the fact that carbon atoms at the graphene periphery are not saturated, have increased chemical activity and can be bound to many chemical compounds in order to compensate free valence.

HRCM and materials obtained on its basis have been studied in the following American research and development institutions and laboratories:

• 1. University of California Irvine Wen-An Chiou, Ph.D.
• 2. CARBON NANOTECHNOLOGY LABORATORY Howard Khan

Schmidt, Ph.D.

• 3. University of California Davis Department of Chemical Engineering

& Material Science

• 4. University of California Irvine Jian-Guo Zheng, PhD
• 5. Brunswick Laboratories
• 6. Brighton Analytical LLC
• 7. Nautilus Environmental
• 8. Sierra Analytical
• 9. Del Mar Analytical
• 10. University of Nevada – Reno Nevada Stable Isotope Laboratory
• 11. University of Waterloo Canada
• 12. United States Department of Interior, U.S. Geological Survey ,431

National Centre

• 13. Excelchem Environmental Labs

So the outstanding sorption properties of HRCM allows to use it as a special material for solving various technological problems:

• neutralisation of toxic waste and destruction of chemical warfare

agents;

• high quality additional cleaning of drinking water;
• localization and extinguishing of fires of toxic and combustive fluids on

land and on water surface;

• liquidation of emergency spills of oil and oil products on land and on

water surface including recultivation of soils and final water treatment;

• cleaning of blood plasma;
• creation of medicinal preparations;
• removal of polyaromatic hydrocarbons from tobacco smoke;
• moisture retention in sandy and alkaline soils;
• waste water treatment, recovery of precious metals.

A high effectiveness of HRCM use in case of spills of fuel and lubricant materials (FLM) and oil products into soil. At present this material is used by many enterprises and organisations for liquidation of ecological consequences of various accidents. In particular, in 1997-1998 Transneft’, a joint-stock company, purchased 25 tons of HRCM from Golden Formula Holding LLC for liquidation of oil spills in case of its unauthorised extraction from pipelines. HRCM is also used as a sorbent in a number of foreign countries for ecological purposes.

equipped with special pillows filled with HRCM. Boom containments based on HRCM have successfully used in marine conditions in case of large oil spills.

HRCM in water treatment systems In Russia the systematic investigations of HRCM have been performed since 1998 in the following research institutions:

• Institute of criminology, Federal Security Service of the Russian

Federation;

• Institute of spectroscopy, Russian Academy of Sciences;
• Moscow state institute of electronic engineering;
• M.V. Lomonosov Moscow state university;
• Research Institute, Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation;
• V.G. Khlopin Radium Institute Science & Production Association, a

federal state unitary enterprise (FSUE);

• F.F. Erisman Federal science and production centre, a federal state

science institution (FSSI);

• Centre of extreme medicine FSUE;
• I.I. Janelidze Ambulance Research Institute;
• Institute of toxicology FSSI.

These investigations have shown that the use of HRCM as a sorbent opens new unique possibilities relating to water treatment technologies. In doing so, the investigations performed in Institute of toxicology FSSI (Russia), in Brunswick Laboratories (USA) and in National Toxicology Centre (India) have convincingly demonstrated that water, which has passed through HRCM, has biological activity, antioxidant properties and enhances the adaptation capabilities of organism. This phenomenon opens a new era in water treatment technologies, a new understanding of the water value in biological processes, a new radical approach to solving health assurance problems. Taking into account the above, the United Russia party announced in 2007 about a national project called ‘Pure water’. According to this project all schools, children’s institutions. Medical institutions shall be equipped with filters based on HRCM.

Petrik has successfully solved a number of ecological problems. In 1990 the President of USA G. Bush signed the program called ‘Clean air for American cities’. According to the program adopted, they began adding methyl tret-butyl ether (MTBE) to petrol. Already five years afterwards, all seven water wells, from which the town of Santa Monica is supplied, were poisoned with MTBE. The ecological catastrophe was declared in the USA. At present the use of MTBE is prohibited in 25 US states. American scientists applied to V. Petrik with a proposal to develop a water treatment

• technology. The technology developed by V. Petrik, Configuration and

methods for water purification BE - US 7,128,881 B2 31/10/2006, allows cleaning water with the МТВЕ content exceeding the standard rate by 8,000 times!

According to G. Bush’s direction, the photo report on his meetings with

• V. Petrik has been placed in the United States National Museum for

eternal storage. In bogged areas, one of the most important water treatment problems is the contamination of water with humic acids. This problem is equally expressed both in Leningradskaya oblast and in Miami. Before the dawning of the age of HRCM, there have existed no technologies in the world, which could be capable to clean water from humic acids.

The Governor of Florida Jeb Bush has personally got convinced in the effectiveness of HRCM for cleaning water from humic acids. According to the Fort Lauderdale city council’s decision, V.I. Petrik has become an honored citizen of the city.

Many well-known US politicians endeavour to get acquainted with

• utstanding achievements of the Russian scientist V. Petrik.

For many decades the residents of Kuwait have been forced to accept the unnatural smells of hydrogen sulphide, which exudes along with water during excavating soil for construction works. The Kuwaiti Government has many times called together the best world specialists in order to solve this

• problems. Once Her Highness Sheikha Amthal Al Sabah personally applied

to Petrik with the request to render help in such a misfortune. Soon thereafter V.I.Petrik delivered a high-performance installation to Kuwait for catalytic oxidation of sulphur dioxide by atmospheric oxygen.

Her Highness Sheikha Amthal Al Sabah has given a valuable gift to the scientist as a token of gratitude and has prepared dinner for the first time in her life and personally served it to the scientist. Basing on HRCM, V.I. Petrik has created a unique technology for the recovery of water from radioactive elements and their reliable fixation in carbon matrixes. In particular, using the technology of gaseous phase application of platinum group metals onto graphenes, he created a highly effective hydrophobic catalyst for the recovery of water from heavy isotopes

• n the topic: “Development of methods for production and treatment of a

new class of functional rare-metal materials”. The winner of the competition was Research institute of supramolecular systems and nanotechnologies LLC, and a research on the topic: “Production of high-purity nanocrystalline rhenium” has been performed under V.I. Petrik’s leadership during the period of 2007 -2008. The technology developed as a result of this research has been called as follows: “A method for the production of rhenium powder by chemical deposition from the gaseous phase”. It has a patent and legal protection and ensures the production of nanocrystalline rhenium with purity of at least 99.995% and grain size of 30-125nm. Rhenium is one of the most rare elements in the Earth’s core. At the present time only three rhenium deposits are known, in USA, Kazakhstan and in Russia in the form of gas emissions from the Kudryaviy volcano. In doing so, the extraction is performed in the USA (30 tons a year) and in Kazakhstan (10 tons a year).

Another source of rhenium is technogenous raw material (waste turbines, blades, thermally-loaded parts of aircraft engines, etc.), which is strategic and has been accumulating for many decades already pending the establishment of industrial technology for rhenium extraction. The results of the research performed have been highly appreciated by A.M. Chekmaryov, leading Russian specialists in rhenium research, associate member of RAS (Russian Academy of Sciences), Professor of Russian university of chemistry and technology. The technology for rhenium production has passed comprehensive experimental and industrial testing and strict expert examination in various research institutions and organisations. ROSNANO, a state corporation, has approved the project basing on the technical commission’s resolution and has made a decision to co-finance construction of a rhenium production factory, which process system is based on V.I. Petrik’s ideas and inventions.
