Abstract
According to the present invention, ceramics which are prepared by calcining a composition comprising raw ceramic materials and a microorganism and/or culture fluid thereof, wherein the microorganisms is capable of producing an antioxidation material. The ceramic of the present invention possesses a variety of activities of, for instance, improving the soil, decomposing sewage or sludge, and deodorizing an unpleasant odor.
Claims6
A deodorizing composition comprising an effective amount of a deodorizing ceramic obtained by calcining a composition comprising raw ceramic materials and 25 to 40 weight percent of microorganisms and/or culture fluid thereof at a temperature and for a time sufficient for calcination to take place, wherein at least five microorganisms are selected and at least one microorganism is selected from each of the five groups of actinomycetes, phototrophic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, mold fungi and yeast wherein
- said actinomycetes belong to genus Streptomyces, Streptoverticillium, Nocardia, Micromonospora, or Rhodococcus;
- said phototrophic bacteria belong to genus Rhodopseudomonas, Rhodospirillum, Chromatium or Chlorobium;
- said lactic acid bacteria belong to genus Lactobacillus, Propionibacterium, or Pediococcus;
- said mold fungi belong to genus Aspergillus or Mucor;
- and
- said yeast belong to genus Saccharomyces or Candida.
A process for eliminating or neutralizing an odor from a source comprising spreading on the source of the odor to eliminate or neutralize the odor an amount of a ceramic effective to eliminate or neutralize the odor, said ceramic obtained by calcining a composition comprising raw ceramic materials and 25 to 40 weight percent of microorganisms and/or culture fluid thereof and for a time sufficient for calcination to take place, wherein at least five microorganisms are selected and at least one microorganism is selected from each of the five groups of actinomycetes, phototrophic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, mold fungi and yeast wherein
- said actinomycetes belong to genus Streptomyces, Streptoverticillium, Nocardia, Micromonospora, or Rhodococcus;
- said phototrophic bacteria belong to genus Rhodopseudomonas, Rhodospirillum, Chromatium, or Chlorobium;
- said lactic acid bacteria belong to genus Lactobacillus, Propionibacterium, or Pediococcus;
- said mold fungi belong to genus Aspergillus or Mucor;
- and
- said yeast belong to genus Saccharomyces or Candida.
