Patent ID: 6994792

Claim:
Process for producing highly reactive reagents for purifying water or gas which is polluted by organic, inorganic or biological pollutants or constituents, comprising providing mixtures of various adsorber media, whose adsorption properties supplement one another in the mixtures characterized in that the mixtures of various adsorber mixture comprises as a main component a member selected from the group consisting of: (a) finely divided iron oxide and/or iron oxyhydroxide, the finely divided iron oxide and/or iron oxyhydroxide having a BET surface area of 50 to 500 m 2 /g, and optionally agglomerates thereof comprising iron oxide pigments having particle sizes above sizes of the finely divided iron oxide and/or iron oxyhydrooxide and BET surface areas below the surface area of the iron oxide and/or iron oxyhydroxide, wherein the adsorber mixture content is sufficient to provide effective strength of packing with respect to forces of flowing medium acting on it to be high enough that loading of the packing by flowing medium does not lead to an unwanted abrasion of packing materials; (b) manganese oxide and/or titanium oxides or (oxy)hydroxides, Fe(OH) 3 , or their aging products and dehydrogenated secondary products; (c) lime, iron exchanger, catalysts, and (d) copper compounds and/or zinc compounds and/or silver compounds whereby the main component is admixed with an aqueous suspension of iron oxide and/or iron oxyhydroxide, wherein the suspension, optionally after predrying, is subjected in the semisolid state to a mechanical shaping and subsequent drying, to achieve a solid state.
