Abstract: Granules comprise binder-agglomerated active particles for liquid treatment or filtration. Each granule has a center core of a material that itself has binding properties without the addition of other binders or sprays or adhesives, or, alternatively, each granule comprises a matrix of active materials stuck together with the binder. The binder structure preferably ranges from a non-uniform matrix of binder formed by heat-deformed binder particles, to a clump of binder particles generally retaining the original shape or the binder particles, to non-continuous connectors of binder between active particles. The invented two-part media has high surface area per volume of media, which, because the outer surface and inner void surfaces of the particles are preferably substantially covered with active particles, translates to high activity for the preferred treatment process.

Abstract: A gravity flow carbon block filter comprising approximately 20-90 wt % activated carbon particles having a mean particle size in the range of approximately 90-220 ?m, and approximately 10-50 wt % low melt index polymeric material. The low melt index polymeric material can have a melt index less than 1.0 g/10 min or greater than 1.0 g/10 min and a mean particle size in the range of approximately 20-150 ?m.
