Abstract: An effective composite for absorbing both standing and flowing water which comprises a fumed silica component, a water-absorbent acrylic polymer a fibrous component, and three types of scoriaceous components is described. Bags containing the composite may also be used.
Abstract: The invention employs composites of zeolite and ferric oxide hydroxide for removal of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus wastes from animal environments.
Abstract: Compositions and methods are disclosed for remediating environmental contaminants when such contaminants primarily include hydrophobic materials such as petroleum.
Abstract: Compositions and methods for heavy metal remediation are disclosed. The compositions contain ceramic nanoparticulate cation exchangers specific for at least one heavy metal as well as at least one carrier, typically a thickener, a gel forming agent and/or a cross-binding agent. The compositions may also contain chelating agents as well as beneficial agents such as vitamins and pharmaceuticals, with or without the ceramic nanoparticulate cation exchangers.
Abstract: Nanocomposite compositions forming mixed clathrates and methods for using such compositions for entrapping guest moieties such as malodors, molds and cells are disclosed.
