Beryllium Waste and Recycling
Recycling of beryllium and waste disposal is an established industry, with many companies able to recycle alloys like beryllium copper and beryllium aluminum, or even pure beryllium. Beyond these alloys, however, beryllium can also be found in electronic wastes - and recyclers of these materials and other alloys may not know they are working with beryllium. Because of its toxicity, this can have significant health consequences if precautions are not taken, but beryllium in scrap and waste products can be difficult to identify. As such, many companies turn away materials that they suspect may contain beryllium, while those that take it in must do costly chemical analysis to verify the element's presence and implement the proper safety procedures.

Annnd the next three elements are done too! Lithium, Beryllium and Boron. And now here's a analysis of how I made their designs if you want to read that.
Lithium was hard to make because I couldn't figure out what to do with her design. At first she was supposed to be a therapist, since Lithium itself helps with BPD, but also a bad therapist because Lithium is also really reactive. (I've basically decided that all reactive substances would also be very emotional characters). I then went to the idea of a ghost, because Lithium is the lightest metal and the whole 'mood changing' thing could come from the fact that she could possess people. But then I realised a ghost design would probably fit a gas more, so I went with this genie sort of thing instead. I still wanted to keep the ghost part of her design for the whole possession thing since I don't really think genies can do that so I just made her look slightly more alive to convey that.
Despite Beryllium and Boron not actually being that similar in real life, I decided to make the two siblings due to their similar colour pallette. I also kind of fumbled with Berylliums design due to me not knowing much about the actual element except the fact that it was used in spacecraft, so I made him a sort of pilot/astronomer combo thing but I can't really have much creative freedom with that, so I might redo his design later on.
For Boron I mostly based her design over the fact that the element is used in pyrotechnic flares (green ones specifically) and that's where the colour pallette came from. I also added the fuse because I didn't want her design to look as empty as Beryllium's and it makes sense a bit too because Boron itself is a powder that is used in fuel and explosives.
Anyways I HAVE PLANS for carbon and oxygen so like they'll come soon ig

In their paper published in the journal Science, Josef Boronski, Agamemnon Crumpton, Lewis Wales and Simon Aldridge, describe their process and how they managed to do it in a safe way—and at room temperature. Jason Dutton with La Trobe University, has published a Perspective piece in the same journal issue, outlining the work done by the team in England. Beryllium is a strong but lightweight, alkaline earth metal. It is also brittle.Beryllium only ever occurs naturally when mixed with other elements, forming minerals. It is often found in gemstones such as emeralds. And it is used in a variety of applications, from telecommunications equipment to computers and cell phones. It is also mixed with other metals to create alloys used in applications such as gyroscopes and electrical contacts. For many years, scientists have thought that the element could be even more useful if a way could be found to force beryllium atoms to bond with one another. But until now, it was not possible.

So I decided to do some more @elementcattos fanart, and this time, I polled the general chat of a discord server I'm active in! (Without context, of course.) A couple of elements were suggested that didn't exist yet, but the first four were these four, so here ya go! :3
Tumblr media
A few bonus facts:
Potassium and Zinc are totally friends cause they're both often found in food.
I envision Beryllium as just being friendly, even to the people who aren't directly her friends.
Couldn't figure out how to work in Uranium, so they're just sittin' on the chemistry bench.
I was going to put in Neodymium as a joke but then I did a search and found out that Zinc isn't magnetic. Sad.
I set way too many things in the park in general. It's an addiction. Help me.
I love Zinc so much he's my son i love the zinc catto

Round 3 - Matchup 5
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mercury 80 (Hg) - The one, the only, (well not quite but close enough) liquid metal that doesn't burn you. It'll just fuck you up in a bunch of other ways.
vs
Beryllium 4 (Be) - A key component of some gemstones like aquamarine and emerald. Useful for aerospace.

Are you feeling CERULEAN or are you LIVID?
Welcome to Cool Colours (with a Classics flavour) entry III. You have probably already guessed that these words come from ancient words denoting colours, in this case shades of blue.
Cerulean denotes a sky-blue. However, its ancient parent word could refer to a sky-blue, or a shade darker, even a blue-green. It comes from the lovely Latin adjective caeruleus, which may be connected to the Latin word for heaven or sky, caelum. A beautiful reference that uses the word in ancient literature can be found in Virgil's stunning poem about farming, The Georgics. Virgil describes one of the zones of the sky as 'rigid with blue ice (caerulea glacie)'.
Lividus, the parent word of 'livid' also denotes a shade of blue, but a much darker blue-black. One can see how it has come to become a virtual synonym for 'angry'. The original Latin adjective also carries negative connotations, but of being spiteful and malicious.
Now I have not a coronet in tonight's final hue (sorry, mad Sherlock Holmes fan), but it is a word I am fond of, namely Beryl, a pale green or blue, deriving via Latin beryllus from Greek βήρυλλος (beryllos). In a tragi-comic elegy, poet Propertius imagines the ghost of lover Cynthia visiting him, still wearing her beryl ring. Any keen chemists reading this will spot the connection to the element beryllium.
Despite the many Greek and Latin words that adorn our sweet language of English, English is actually a Germanic language. The word 'blue' finds its origins in blau.
So if you are blue with cold, you are feeling cerulean or feeling cross, you are LIVID.
More on cool colours and Classics soon.
Happy New Year's Eve.

Hoshino... Beryl (?)
A crossover between Oshi No Ko's Hoshino Ai and Beryllium! I tried mimicking the colouring style of Oshi No Ko anime.
The many reels of Oshi No Ko crossovers made me want to draw this >v< I chose Beryllium because she's sweet and smart, but will habitually lie to please others. Beneath her obedient appearance, she longs to escape and rebel against the mundane everyday life, in search for adventures. I think she'd adore Ai, as Beryllium loves everything shiny and delicate - jewels, candy and more.
Tumblr media
The candy in the background is from Beryllium salt's sweet taste.
From the element's toxicity and brittleness, she's easily upset and overwhelmed with negative thoughts - so she lies to avoid being hurt in interpersonal conflicts.
Her longing for adventures & paper plane - aerospace application of beryllium-aluminium alloys
