Abstract

The objective of this scientific research work was to evaluate the impact of the Trivedi Effect® on the physicochemical properties of antimony (Sb) powder using modern analytical techniques. Antimony is a chemical element, which has many applications in medicine, cosmetics, metal, and electronic industry. The powder sample was divided into two parts, one part of antimony was considered as control sample, while second part received the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a famous Biofield Energy Healer, Alice Branton and termed as a Biofield Energy Treated sample. The PXRD peak intensities and crystallite sizes of the treated antimony were significantly altered ranging from 3.43% to 52.58% and -17.22% to 166.4%, respectively compared to the control sample. However, the average crystallite size of the treated sample was significantly increased by 25.96% compared with the control sample. The particle size values in the treated antimony were significantly increased by 51.60% (d10), 20.17% (d50), 35.34% (d90), and 26.32% {D(4,3)}, respectively compared to the control sample. Therefore, the specific surface area of the treated antimony powder was significantly decreased by 27% compared with the control sample. The total weight loss was decreased by 4.43%; however, the residual amount was significantly increased by 15.04% in the treated antimony compared with the control sample. The maximum thermal degradation temperature (Tmax) of the 1st peak in the treated sample was decreased by 4.35%, whereas the Tmax of the 2nd peak in the treated sample was significantly increased by 5.41% compared with the control sample. The results concluded that the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment might lead to generate a new polymorphic form of antimony which would improve the physicochemical and thermal stability compared with the untreated sample. The treated antimony would be very useful for designing better pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations as antimonials, meglumine antimoniate, antiprotozoal drugs, anti-schistosomal, veterinary preparations, nourishing or conditioner of keratinized tissues. It would also be useful for the heavy industries for the production of alloys, fire retardant, solders, electrical cables, bullets, plain bearings, microelectronics, etc.
