  • CALCIUM CARBONATE AND CALCIUM CARBONATE-CONTAINING MATERIALS FOR REMOVING BIOAGENTS FROM WATER
    Publication number: 20110031186
    Abstract: Calcium carbonate (CaCO3; calcite) and CaCO3-containing materials are known to have high adsorption capacities for polar organic compounds. This invention includes the use of CaCO3 and CaC O3-containing materials (e.g., synthetic calcite, calcite coated sorbents) and their mixture with other materials (e.g., activated carbon, resins) for removing bioagents (viruses, bacteria, hormones, pharmaceutical intermediates, and other hazardous biological agents) from waters.
