Mineral, nutritional, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and agricultural compositions and methods for producing the same

摘要

Mineral, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, agricultural, nutraceutical, and other compositions are produced using a mineral composition containing minimal concentrations of cadmium, lead, arsenic, and mercury and containing relatively high concentrations of micro and macro mineral elements, of rare earth elements, of calcium, and of silica. The mineral concentrations are produced by processing naturally occurring clay soil to concentrate mineral elements naturally occurring in the soil.

主权项

1. A method for treating a clay soil, a mixture of clay soils, or a mixture of clay soils and leonardite, consisting of, one acid treatment step, a settling step, a separating step, and a concentrating step,
wherein the one acid treatment step consists of admixing a clay soil, a mixture of clay soils, or a mixture of clay soils and leonardite, with water in an amount at least two times the weight of the soil and an acid to produce a water-acid-soil slurry, wherein the amount of acid is 0.25% to 7.5% of the weight of the water; wherein the settling step consists of allowing solids from the water-acid-soil slurry to settle; wherein the separating step consists of separating the liquid of the water-acid-soil slurry from the settled solids wherein the solids comprise substantially all of the silica and aluminum from the clay soil, mixture of clay soils, or mixture of clay soils and leonardite; and wherein the concentrating step consists of concentrating the separated liquid to form a liquid extracted mineral element composition comprising a lower amount of silica and aluminum than the clay soil, a mixture of clay soils, or a mixture of clay soils and leonardite.
