Analysis of Physical, Thermal, and Structural Properties of Biofield Energy Treated Molybdenum Dioxide

Abstract

Molybdenum dioxide (MoO 2) is known for its catalytic activity toward reforming hydrocarbons. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of biofield energy treatment on physical, thermal, and structural properties in MoO 2. The MoO 2 powder sample was divided into two parts, one part was remained as untreated, called as control, while the other part was subjected to Mr. Trivedi's biofield energy treatment and called as treated. Both control and treated samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The XRD data exhibited that the biofield treatment has altered the lattice parameters, unit cell volume, density and molecular weight of the treated sample as compared to the control. The TGA study revealed that the onset temperature of thermal degradation of MoO 2 was reduced from 702.87°C to 691.92°C. Besides, the FT-IR spectra exhibited that the absorption band corresponding to Mo=O stretching vibration was shifted to lower wavenumber i.e. 975 cm-1 (control) to 970 cm-1 in treated sample. Hence, above results suggested that biofield energy treatment has altered the physical, thermal, and structural properties in MoO 2 powder. Therefore, the biofield treatment could be applied to modify the catalytic properties of MoO 2 in pharmaceutical industries.

“…The National Center of Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) has been recognized and accepted Biofield Energy Healing as a Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) health care approach in addition to other therapies, medicines and practices such as natural products, deep breathing, yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation, meditation, massage, special diets, homeopathy, progressive relaxation, guided imagery, acupressure, acupuncture, relaxation techniques, hypnotherapy, healing touch, movement therapy, pilates, rolfing structural integration, mindfulness, Ayurvedic medicine, traditional Chinese herbs and medicines, naturopathy, essential oils, aromatherapy, Reiki, cranial sacral therapy and applied prayer (as is common in all religions, like Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism) [20]. Biofield Energy Treatment (The Trivedi Effect ® ) has been reported in numerous peer-reviewed science journals with significant outcomes in many scientific fields such as cancer research [21]; altered antimicrobial sensitivity of pathogenic microbes in microbiology [22][23][24], biotechnology [25,26], genetics [27,28]; changing the structure of the atom in relation to various metals, ceramics, polymers and chemicals in materials science [29,30], altered physical and chemical properties of pharmaceuticals [31,32], nutraceuticals [33,34], organic compounds [35][36][37], and improved overall growth and yield of plants in agricultural science [38,39]. The physicochemical properties such as particle size, crystalline structure, crystallite size, surface area, and thermal properties of a drug have a vital role in bioavailability as well as stability of the drug during processing, formulation, storage, and packaging [40,41].…”

Molybdenum recovery as alloying agent from waste molybdenum solution

“…Also there are other secondary sources of molybdenum which could be valorized, such as hydrodesulphurization (HDS) catalysts in petroleum industry [4][5][6][7], a scrap [8,9] secondary mineral sources such as low grade molybdenite concentrate generated as byproduct of uranium mining and milling operations [10]. Molybdenum compounds and his alloys could be used in a form of MoO3 and MoO2 as a catalyst in hydrocarbon reforming process [11,12], or as a electrocatalyst in fuel cell applications together with Pt and Ru [13] or as silicides of molybdenum for high temperature structural purposes [14]. However, statistic from the LME (London Metal Exchange) shows us that the most amount of produced molybdenum is used in metallurgy (about 86 %) and the rest is used in chemical application.…”
