TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Method: The method further involves providing a nitrogen gas source. The portion of hydrogen gas is consumed in the chemical synthesis process for synthesizing ammonia from the hydrogen gas and the nitrogen gas. The gaseous carbon dioxide is consumed in the chemical synthesis output for manufacturing methane and/or urea from the carbon dioxide. The elemental carbon is consumed in the manufacturing process for providing precursor rayon. The precursor rayon is thermally impregnated with elemental carbon to achieve a nominal carbon content of approximately 85 weight%, processing the impregnated rayon by oxidation/pyrolysis to obtain a carbon filament, and converting the carbon filament to a carbon fiber. The carbon dioxide output is converted into the chemical synthesis output for manufacturing a product chosen from petrochemical feedstock, fertilizer, resin and plastic. The elemental carbon is consumed in a manufacturing process for manufacturing a carbide product. The hydrogen gas output is purified, and the metal chlorides are reduced with the purified hydrogen by a plasma gas reduction process to obtain metallic powder, and a byproduct hydrogen chloride gas suitable for recycling to elemental chlorine. Preferred Components: The carbonaceous source is biomass, bituminous coal or lignite. The carbon fiber is consumed for manufacturing a product chosen from carbon fiber reinforced precast concrete modules containing Portland cement, carbon fiber reinforced precast concrete modules containing fly ash cement, and carbon fiber reinforced plastic. The metal chlorides are reformed by a plasma oxide synthesis to produce titanium dioxide, chromium oxide and zirconium oxide having a plasma-formed crystalline structure. The byproduct obtained in the gasifying step comprises sulfur. The sulfur byproduct is converted to sulfuric acid. The carbon monoxide is hydrogenated over a catalyst, and hydrocarbons are synthesized. A heterogeneous mixture of 2-20C components is produced as intermediate while producing hydrocarbons. The carbide product is chosen from tungsten carbide, silicon carbide, alumina silicon carbide and tungsten carbide nickel. Preferred Composition: The ore comprises bauxite and laterite. The bauxite contains (in weight%) alumina (55), ferric oxide (3.5), titania (2.8), silica (6), and trace metal oxides and/or water. The laterite contains (in weight%) alumina (38), ferric oxide (33), titania (2.8), silica (2.7), and trace metal oxides and/or water.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - METALLURGY - Preferred Components: The metallic powder is processed to obtain inter-metallic component chosen from silver tungsten, nickel titanium, titanium aluminum, titanium silicon and iron aluminide components. The metallic powder comprises metal(s) chosen from aluminum, copper, iron, silicon, titanium, gallium, zirconium, vanadium, scandium, chromium and indium.
