Abstract
Methods for engineered cellular magmatic usable as filter media and articles thereof are disclosed. For example, the magmatics may include one or more infiltration materials that are configured not to sinter when a foamed mass is formed. The infiltration materials may be enclosed in cells of the foamed mass and may be floating and/or fixed to the cell walls.
Claims20
An article of manufacture, comprising:
- a rigid foam mass being composed of at least one silicate based component and having:
- a non-crystalline portion;
- and
- a crystalline portion that is bound to the non-crystalline portion, in line with the definition of glass ceramics;
- and
- a reactive material disposed within and enclosed by pores of at least a portion of at least one of the non-crystalline portion or the crystalline portion, the reactive material causing the rigid foam mass to exhibit filtration media properties.

An article of manufacture, comprising:
- an engineered foam mass having:
- at least one of a non-crystalline portion or a crystalline portion bound to the non-crystalline portion;
- and
- a reactive material disposed within pores of at least a portion of the at least one of the non-crystalline portion or the crystalline portion.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- creating a mixture of:
- a pulverized or powdered glass;
- a pulverized or powdered blowing agent;
- and
- a reactive material;
- and
- applying heat to the mixture at a first temperature and for a first dwell time until:
- at least a portion of the mixture sinters;
- at least a portion of the pulverized or powdered glass foams to form a foamed mass;
- at least a portion of the pulverized or powdered blowing agent decomposes;
- at least a portion of the foamed mass remains in a crystalline state or undergoes crystallization;
- and
- the reactive material is enclosed by pores of the foamed mass;
- and
- applying a solution containing a binder and/or mesoporous material upon the foamed mass.
