Abstract
A method and device for the chemical conversion, filtration and/or purification of fluids water or other solutions containing microbiological and chemical contaminants, such as fluids containing arsenic, chlorine, bacteria, viruses, and cysts, where the fluid is passed through a purification material composed of fluid treatment carbon, metal phosphates, metal oxides, reduced metals, metal silicates, metal sulfates, metal carbonates, metal hydroxides, or combinations thereof. The material may be included in a fixed binder matrix.
Claims131
A reactive composite material for fluid treatment comprising a mixture of, fluid treatment carbon metal phosphates, metal oxides, reduced metals, metal silicates, metal sulfates, metal carbonates, metal hydroxides, or a combination thereof, and a binder for binding the mixture;
- and
- wherein the composite material is capable of oxidizing or reducing a chemical form into a second chemical form wherein the second chemical form may be removed from the fluid and wherein the binder and mixture are housed in a porous support.
