Mood: Slowly Oxidizing into Oblivion

I'm going to try this. Funny how some of my old threads are getting bumped up lol. I never really continued on this idea, but I have the silica gel
and the molecular sieves. I'll probably bake both in a microwave before running the experiment. And a good set of steel pipes welded together should
suffice for my autoclave substitute.

There wasn't a fire, we just had an uncontrolled rapid oxidation event at the power plant.

The first paper is pretty cool, the second one is downright shocking. Aerogel at ambient pressure from cheap materials? After 80 years of
supercritical drying? I'd be more skeptical, but they have photographs

Stumbled on this today : direct synth of tetraethyl orthosilicate from ethanol and silicon using a catalyst of either magnesium ethoxide, tin
tetrachloride or tin(II) oxide.
