Abstract
This disclosure provides a halogenated activated carbon composition comprising carbon, a halogenated compound and a salt. In some embodiments, the halogenated compound and the salt comprise a naturally occurring salt mixture, as may be obtained from ocean water, salt lake water, rock salt, salt brine wells, for example. In some embodiments, the naturally occurring salt mixture comprises Dead Sea salt.
Claims6
A biogenic activated carbon composition comprising:
- 80 wt % or more total carbon;
- 10 wt % or less hydrogen;
- a first salt comprising a halogenated compound selected from the group consisting of copper bromide, copper chloride, and combinations thereof;
- and
- a second salt;
- wherein the halogenated compound and the second salt are present in a total amount of about 0.2 wt % to about 20 wt %, and wherein the second salt is optionally halogenated;
- wherein the first salt and/or the second salt are from a naturally occurring salt mixture;
- wherein the naturally occurring salt mixture is from a source selected from the group consisting of ocean water, salt lake water, rock salt, salt brine wells, and combinations thereof;
- and
- wherein the naturally occurring salt mixture comprises Dead Sea salt.
