Abstract

This disclosure provides a halogenated activated carbon composition comprising carbon, a halogenated compound and a salt. In some embodiments, the halogenated compound and the salt comprise a naturally occurring salt mixture, as may be obtained from ocean water, salt lake water, rock salt, salt brine wells, for example. In some embodiments, the naturally occurring salt mixture comprises Dead Sea salt.

7. The halogenated activated carbon composition of claim 1 , wherein the halogenated compound or the salt comprises at least one anion selected from the group consisting of chloride, bromide, iodide, fluoride, sulfate, nitrate, and phosphate.

8. The halogenated activated carbon composition of claim 7 , wherein the halogenated compound or the salt comprises at least two anions selected from the group consisting of chloride, bromide, iodide, fluoride, sulfate, nitrate, and phosphate.

9. The halogenated activated carbon composition of claim 1 , wherein the halogenated compound or the salt comprises at least one cation selected from the group consisting of magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, ammonium, copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese, iron, zinc, molybdenum, and tungsten.

10. The halogenated activated carbon composition of claim 9 , wherein the halogenated compound or the salt comprises at least two cations selected from the group consisting of magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, ammonium, copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese, iron, zinc, molybdenum, and tungsten.

11. The halogenated activated carbon composition of claim 1 , wherein the halogenated compound or the salt is derived from a naturally occurring salt mixture.
