Abstract
According to the present invention, ceramics which are prepared by calcining a composition comprising raw ceramic materials and a microorganisms 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.
Claims12
A composition for improving water quality comprising water and an effective water improving amount of a 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 composition for improving fuel comprising fuel and an effective fuel improving amount of a 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 improving water quality comprising contacting an aqueous solution with a surface of a 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 so that the water quality is effectively improved.
A process for improving fuel, comprising contacting the fuel with a surface of a 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 so that the quality of the fuel is improved.
