Controlling Chemical Reactions by Spectral Chemistry and Spectral Conditioning

Abstract

This invention relates to novel methods for affecting, controlling and/or directing various reactions and/or reaction pathways or systems by exposing one or more components in a holoreaction system to at least one spectral energy pattern. In a first aspect of the invention, at least one spectral energy pattern can be applied to a reaction system. In a second aspect of the invention, at least one spectral energy conditioning pattern can be applied to a conditioning reaction system. The spectral energy conditioning pattern can, for example, be applied at a separate location from the reaction vessel (e.g., in a conditioning reaction vessel) or can be applied in (or to) the reaction vessel, but prior to other reaction system participants being introduced into the reaction vessel. The techniques of the present invention are applicable to inorganic reactions, organic reactions, biologic reactions and/or phase or structure change reactions. The invention specifically discloses different means for achieving the control of energy dynamics (e.g., matching or non-matching) between, for example, applied energy and matter (e.g., solids, liquids, gases, plasmas and/or combinations or portions thereof), to achieve (or to prevent) and/or increase energy transfer to, for example, at least one participant (or at least one conditionable participant) in a holoreaction system by taking into account various energy considerations in the holoreaction system. The invention also discloses an approach for designing or determining appropriate physical catalyst(s) to be used in a holoreaction system. The techniques of the present invention use targeted spectral energies to control transformation of matter, and/or reaction system dynamics, such as chemical reactions, phase changes, and material properties.
