Abstract
Abstract Novel compositions containing fluoride are provided for the removal of organic and heavy metal pollutants from waste waters and methods of utilizing same. The compositions comprise components selected from ion exchange absorbent gels, cements, water soluble fluoride containing salts and optionally alkali metal ortho phosphates. The procedures of the present invention yield not only clarified waters but provided a sludge which can be disposed of under environmentally acceptable conditions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A composition adapted to the removal of heavy metal, water soluble, water immiscible and water immiscible organic pollutants from waste waters comprising (a) ion exchange absorbent gels, consisting of at least one member selected from the group consisting of calcined clays, amorphous silicas, aluminas, natural and artificial zeolites, perlites or vermiculite, (b) cementitious materials selected from the group consisting of Portland cements, aluminous cements, puzzalan cements, gypsum plasters, alkaline earth metal oxides and alkaline earth metals hydrated oxides, (c) water soluble fluoride containing salts, and (d) alkali metal ortho phosphates, provided that where no alkali metal ortho phosphate is present an additional component is selected from group (a) or group (b), further provided that where no alkali metal ortho phosphate or group (a) components are present, three components are selected from group (b).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
A composition adapted to the removal of heavy metal, water soluble, water immiscible and water immiscible organic pollutants from waste waters comprising (a) ion exchange absorbent gels, consisting of at least one member selected from the group consisting of calcined clays, amorphous silicas, aluminas, natural and artificial zeolites, perlites or vermiculite, (b) cementitious materials selected from the group consisting of Portland cements, aluminous cements, puzzalan cements, gypsum plasters, alkaline earth metal oxides and alkaline earth metals hydrated oxides, (c) water soluble fluoride containing salts, and (d) alkali metal ortho phosphates, provided that where no alkali metal ortho phosphate is present an additional component is selected from group (a) or group (b), further provided that where no alkali metal ortho phosphate or group (a) components are present, three components are selected from group (b).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
110 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein the absorbent gels of group (a) comprise between 15 and 55% by weight of the total composition, the cementitious materials of group (b) comprise between 30 and 80% by weight of the total composition, the fluoride containing salts comprise between 0.3 and 10% by weight of the total composition and the alkali earth metal ortho phosphate comprises between 0 and 20% by weight of the total composition provided that where no phosphate is present the fourth component selected from group (a) or group (b) should comprise substantially the same proportion of the total composition as the initial component selected from group (a).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 comprising no group (a) components, three materials of group (b) comprising between 90 and 99.7% by weight of the total composition, the fluoride containing salts comprise between 0.3 and 10% by weight of the total composition and comprising no alkali metal ortho phosphate.
