COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING INTERCALATED MATERIALS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
Compositions of clay materials intercalated with urea and/or another material or combination of materials are discussed. For example, the composition may comprise from about 20% to about 65% by weight intercalated urea, with respect to the total weight of the composition. Intercalation may be achieved, for example, by grinding the clay particles with one or more other materials, such that the other material(s) are intercalated into the clay particles. The composition may be formed into prills formulated for controlled release of urea, e.g., for fertilizing soil.
A filter aid composition may include an acid-treated composite silicate. The composite silicate comprises a silicate substrate and a precipitated silica. A method for making a filter aid composition may include providing a silicate substrate, precipitating a silica onto the silicate substrate to form a composite silicate, and treating the composite silicate with an acid to form an acid-treated composite silicate. A method for filtering a non-aqueous liquid may include providing a non-aqueous liquid for filtering and filtering the non-aqueous liquid through an acid-treated composite silicate. The composite silicate may include a silicate substrate and a precipitated silica. A filter aid may include an acid-treated composite diatomite. The acid-treated composite diatomite may include a diatomite substrate and a precipitated silica gel coating. The precipitated silica may be a precipitated ilica gel.
