Abstract:
1. A method of forming a chemical agent, comprising; providing solid silicon in a reaction vessel; adding solid NaOH; with vigorous mixing, adding a first water ammonium mix to a concentration of two parts water ammonium mix per one part NaOH, the water ammonium mix being 5% ammonium by weight; reacting for from about 1 hour to about 2 hours at less than or equal to about 195° F.; adding a second water ammonium mix, the second water ammonium mix being 10% ammonium by weight and being added to maintain the temperature at or below about 195° F. until the final water ratio is 4 parts water to 1 part sodium silicate; reacting for from about 6 hours to about 8 hours; adding water until the density reaches about 1.3 specific gravity; allowing to stand for about 24 hours; adding an alcohol and mixing vigorously; allowing to settle; and collecting an uppermost fraction.
