Abstract
The invention, in its various embodiments, relates to a medium for purifying fluids, particularly consumable fluids like air and water, by removing organic materials from the fluids by contacting the fluids with a combination of extremely small diameter transition metal oxide and an aluminosilicate having relatively large pores. In addition, contact of the fluids with the purification medium can also significantly reduce the level of microorganisms existing in the fluid, providing another purification benefit.
