Abstract

Tellurium is a chemical element, which known to have many industrial applications, i.e., manufacturing of semiconductor, metal alloys, etc. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment on the physicochemical and thermal properties of tellurium powder using modern analytical techniques. Tellurium powder sample was divided into two parts; one part of tellurium was considered as a control sample, while second part received the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Alice Branton and termed as a Biofield Energy Treated sample. The PXRD peak intensities and crystallite sizes of the treated tellurium were significantly altered ranging from -51.33 to 27.78% and -40.96% to 69.75%, respectively compared to the control sample. However, the average crystallite size of the treated sample was significantly decreased by 5.24% compared with the control sample. The particle size values in the treated tellurium were significantly altered by -14.1% (d10), -3.98% (d50), 0.73% (d90) and -1.94% {D(4,3)} compared to the control sample. Therefore, the specific surface area of the treated tellurium powder was significantly increased by 11% compared with the control sample. The total weight loss was significantly decreased by 32.28%; however, the residual amount was significantly increased by 12.23% in the treated tellurium compared with the control sample. The maximum thermal degradation temperature of the treated sample was increased by 2.56% compared with the control sample. The results concluded that the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment might have generated a new polymorphic form of tellurium, which would be better soluble in solvents and thermally more stable compared with the untreated sample. The Biofield Energy Treated tellurium would be very useful for the industrial applications, i.e., metal alloys, cadmium telluride solar panels, pigments for ceramics, glass optical fibers for telecommunications, vulcanization of rubber, blasting caps, tellurite agar to identify members of the Corynebacterium genus, catalysts for the heterogeneous reactions, production of iodine-131 by neutron bombardment, etc.
