MODIFIED SOL-GEL DERIVED SORBENT MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR USING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a swellable, sorbent material formed of a sol-gel derived composition having a porous matrix and a sorbent property modifier intermixed with at least a portion of the porous matrix. The sorbent property modifier modifies a sorbent property of the sorbent material when compared to the same sorbent property of the corresponding, unmodified sol-gel derived composition.
