Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to protective materials, and in particular, to reactive and adsorptive materials for providing protection from chemical agents and blood agents and methods for providing and using such materials. Also, these materials may be further treated to provide protection from biological agents.
- Agents of chemical warfare have existed for a long time and can generally be grouped into the following three classes: 1) blister/percutaneous agents 2) nerve agents, and 3) blood agents.
- Blister/percutaneous agents attack the skin and/or mucous membrane tissues external or internal to the human body, including the inhalation route. The resulting blistering and ulceration is extremely debilitating and can be fatal. Typical of this class is Mustard (labeled as Agent HD) which can be present as a liquid or a gas or within an aerosolized carrier.
- Agent HD can be present as a liquid or a gas or within an aerosolized carrier.
- activated carbon which, when contained within canister beds or immobilized/fixed within or upon various textile substrates, offered the ready capability to adsorb such agents and hold them away from vulnerable body areas of the person to be protected.
- Activated carbon has been made into and presented as powders, granules, dried slurries, fibers, spherical beads, etc. and is derived from a variety of processes which are performed on organic precursors such as coconut husks, wood, pitch and organic resins. Each process is unique but can be reduced in view to the following steps.
- the carbons materials must be fixed within or upon a carrier substrate in order to be rendered into a useful form.
- Such fixation whether by way of adhesion or entrapment or some other mode of fixing the carbon on the carrier, must be done deftly enough such that as little as possible of the valuable surface area is obfuscated by the fixation process.
- the nerve agents are a variety of compounds which can be presented as gases, liquids or secured either in aerosol or other carriers, much as is HD. They attack the human body and interfere with nervous system functioning via immobilization of key enzymes necessary therein, causing death or severe injury. They all operate principally via percutaneous and inhalation routes and are extremely toxic even in miniscule amounts. Typical of such species are Sarin and Soman, often referred to as the G agents (GB and GD). They are also efficiently adsorbed by carbon of high surface area with the same carbon source/process and fixation considerations as discussed above.
- the blood agents are those species which, when inhaled, dissolve via the lungs in the blood and cause asphyxiation by displacing the oxygen (O 2 ) normally carried by the hemoglobin moieties with more potently binding species known as strong Lewis Bases. Such agents include Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Phosgene (COCl 2 ) and others.
- HN Hydrogen Cyanide
- CO Carbon Monoxide
- COCl 2 Phosgene
- the blood agents are minimally and essentially ignorably adsorbed by the activated carbon spoken of above. This is because the blood agents constitute molecules of too low a molecular weight such that their fugacity at normal temperatures exceeds any surface bonding power which the activated carbon can offer.
- activated carbon is useful for trapping carbon-based impurities (“organic” chemicals), as well as elements like chlorine, many other chemicals (sodium, nitrates, etc.) are not attracted to carbon at all, and therefore pass through unadsorbed. Thus, an activated carbon filter will remove only certain impurities while ignoring others.
- the present invention is directed to reactive and adsorptive materials for providing protection from chemical and/or biological agents and methods for providing such materials.
- the present invention provides for efficient and effective adsorption and neutralization of harmful chemical agents as well as blood agents.
- activated carbon according to the present invention advantageously retains an effective level of adsorptive ability (i.e., the surface area of the bead is not measurably diminished) despite being wettlerized (and/or imbedded with nanoparticles). This is so because even after being imbedded with metal ions and/or nanoparticles, an effective amount of pores in the activated carbon remain unoccluded such that the adsorptive properties of the carbon remain unaffected.
- This combination of features advantageously results in a superior reactive-adsorptive material having the ability to neutralize chemical substances and/or kill biological agents while at the same time not diminishing the effectiveness of the carbon's adsorptive capabilities.
- a reactive-adsorptive protective material comprising an activated carbon bead manufactured from a gel-type ion exchange resin, said activated carbon bead having pores for providing adsorptive properties, and metal ions infused into said pores of said activated carbon bead for imparting reactive properties onto the activated carbon.
- a reactive-adsorptive protective material comprising a gel-type ion exchange resin carbonized and activated to fern activated carbon having adsorptive properties, pores within said carbon beads having a pore size distribution, and metal ions in contact with said pores, wherein the activated carbon retains an effective level of adsorptive ability.
- a method of providing a reactive-adsorptive protective material comprising the steps of producing activated carbon from a gel-type ion exchange resin, the activated carbon having adsorptive properties for adsorbing chemical impurities, and loading metal ions onto the activated carbon to further impart reactive properties onto the activated carbon for providing protection against blood agents which are in contact therewith.
- the reactive-adsorptive materials according to the present invention may further be imparted with reactive biocidal nanoparticles, as per a process described in co-pending U.S. Patent Application entitled “Multi-Functional Protective Materials and Methods for Providing Same” filed concurrently herewith, bearing U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/372,527. The complete disclosure of this concurrently filed application is hereby incorporated by reference.
- an improved activated carbon bead according to the present invention by itself and/or an improved activated carbon bead that has been wettlerized can further be subjected to an electromagnetically induced impaction process in combination with simultaneous sieving so as to imbed nanoparticular agglomerated entities into the surface of the beads where they are held in place by the topographical imbedding in the carbon bead and the van der Waals forces between the particle ions and the carbon beads' surface/pore atoms proximate to the nanoparticle.
- these imbedded nanoparticles impart additional protection by destructively adsorbing chemicals and microorganisms.
- the nanoparticles are able to protect against biological agents by destroying or inactivating microorganisms by attacking their cell membranes and oxidizing important functional proteins or DNA.
- the nanoparticle impaction process is further described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/372,527 mentioned above.
- FIG. 1 depicts an exemplary SEM micrograph of an untreated carbon bead.

Description
- This utility application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/372,352 filed on Feb. 24, 2003 which claims the priority date benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 60/360,050 filed on Feb. 25, 2002.
- 1. Technical Field
- The present invention relates generally to protective materials, and in particular, to reactive and adsorptive materials for providing protection from chemical agents and blood agents and methods for providing and using such materials. Also, these materials may be further treated to provide protection from biological agents.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Agents of chemical warfare have existed for a long time and can generally be grouped into the following three classes: 1) blister/percutaneous agents 2) nerve agents, and 3) blood agents.
- 1) Blister/percutaneous agents attack the skin and/or mucous membrane tissues external or internal to the human body, including the inhalation route. The resulting blistering and ulceration is extremely debilitating and can be fatal. Typical of this class is Mustard (labeled as Agent HD) which can be present as a liquid or a gas or within an aerosolized carrier.
- These agents were found early on to be readily adsorbed by activated carbon which, when contained within canister beds or immobilized/fixed within or upon various textile substrates, offered the ready capability to adsorb such agents and hold them away from vulnerable body areas of the person to be protected. Activated carbon has been made into and presented as powders, granules, dried slurries, fibers, spherical beads, etc. and is derived from a variety of processes which are performed on organic precursors such as coconut husks, wood, pitch and organic resins. Each process is unique but can be reduced in view to the following steps. (a) carbonizing the organic precursor material to carbon of modest internal surface area (of the order of tens to a few hundred of square meters or surface area per gram of carbon), and then (b) activating this carbon to produce a carbon with many hundreds to low thousands of n2/gm of surface area. Such activated carbon has strong adsorptive abilities. When a material adsorbs something, it means that it attaches to it by chemical attraction. The huge surface area of activated carbon gives it countless bonding sites. When certain chemicals pass next to the carbon surface they attach to the surface and are trapped.
- The carbons materials must be fixed within or upon a carrier substrate in order to be rendered into a useful form. Such fixation, whether by way of adhesion or entrapment or some other mode of fixing the carbon on the carrier, must be done deftly enough such that as little as possible of the valuable surface area is obfuscated by the fixation process.
- 2) The nerve agents are a variety of compounds which can be presented as gases, liquids or secured either in aerosol or other carriers, much as is HD. They attack the human body and interfere with nervous system functioning via immobilization of key enzymes necessary therein, causing death or severe injury. They all operate principally via percutaneous and inhalation routes and are extremely toxic even in miniscule amounts. Typical of such species are Sarin and Soman, often referred to as the G agents (GB and GD). They are also efficiently adsorbed by carbon of high surface area with the same carbon source/process and fixation considerations as discussed above.
- 3) The blood agents are those species which, when inhaled, dissolve via the lungs in the blood and cause asphyxiation by displacing the oxygen (O2) normally carried by the hemoglobin moieties with more potently binding species known as strong Lewis Bases. Such agents include Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Phosgene (COCl2) and others. The blood agents are minimally and essentially ignorably adsorbed by the activated carbon spoken of above. This is because the blood agents constitute molecules of too low a molecular weight such that their fugacity at normal temperatures exceeds any surface bonding power which the activated carbon can offer. Indeed, although activated carbon is useful for trapping carbon-based impurities (“organic” chemicals), as well as elements like chlorine, many other chemicals (sodium, nitrates, etc.) are not attracted to carbon at all, and therefore pass through unadsorbed. Thus, an activated carbon filter will remove only certain impurities while ignoring others.
- It is to be noted that there are some chemical agents which can arguably be either percutaneous, inhalation or blood agents, or some combination of these simultaneously. However, for the purposes mentioned herein, such species would operationally fall into one or more of the modes of handling which are cited above.
- Accordingly, there exists a need for materials which have improved adsorptive properties for greater adsorption of impurities and which also have reactive properties to concurrently and effectively neutralize chemical substances which, for example, cannot be adsorbed.
- The present invention is directed to reactive and adsorptive materials for providing protection from chemical and/or biological agents and methods for providing such materials. Advantageously, the present invention provides for efficient and effective adsorption and neutralization of harmful chemical agents as well as blood agents.
- Specifically, activated carbon according to the present invention advantageously retains an effective level of adsorptive ability (i.e., the surface area of the bead is not measurably diminished) despite being wettlerized (and/or imbedded with nanoparticles). This is so because even after being imbedded with metal ions and/or nanoparticles, an effective amount of pores in the activated carbon remain unoccluded such that the adsorptive properties of the carbon remain unaffected. This combination of features advantageously results in a superior reactive-adsorptive material having the ability to neutralize chemical substances and/or kill biological agents while at the same time not diminishing the effectiveness of the carbon's adsorptive capabilities.
- According to an aspect of the present invention, a reactive-adsorptive protective material is provided comprising an activated carbon bead manufactured from a gel-type ion exchange resin, said activated carbon bead having pores for providing adsorptive properties, and metal ions infused into said pores of said activated carbon bead for imparting reactive properties onto the activated carbon.
- According to yet another aspect of the present invention, a reactive-adsorptive protective material is provided comprising a gel-type ion exchange resin carbonized and activated to fern activated carbon having adsorptive properties, pores within said carbon beads having a pore size distribution, and metal ions in contact with said pores, wherein the activated carbon retains an effective level of adsorptive ability.
- According to yet another aspect of the present invention, a method of providing a reactive-adsorptive protective material is provided comprising the steps of producing activated carbon from a gel-type ion exchange resin, the activated carbon having adsorptive properties for adsorbing chemical impurities, and loading metal ions onto the activated carbon to further impart reactive properties onto the activated carbon for providing protection against blood agents which are in contact therewith.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, the reactive-adsorptive materials according to the present invention may further be imparted with reactive biocidal nanoparticles, as per a process described in co-pending U.S. Patent Application entitled “Multi-Functional Protective Materials and Methods for Providing Same” filed concurrently herewith, bearing U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/372,527. The complete disclosure of this concurrently filed application is hereby incorporated by reference. For example, either an improved activated carbon bead according to the present invention by itself and/or an improved activated carbon bead that has been wettlerized can further be subjected to an electromagnetically induced impaction process in combination with simultaneous sieving so as to imbed nanoparticular agglomerated entities into the surface of the beads where they are held in place by the topographical imbedding in the carbon bead and the van der Waals forces between the particle ions and the carbon beads' surface/pore atoms proximate to the nanoparticle. Advantageously, these imbedded nanoparticles impart additional protection by destructively adsorbing chemicals and microorganisms. Specifically, the nanoparticles are able to protect against biological agents by destroying or inactivating microorganisms by attacking their cell membranes and oxidizing important functional proteins or DNA. The nanoparticle impaction process is further described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/372,527 mentioned above.

- The activated carbon beads used in the present invention are preferably further subjected to a wettlerization process to infuse the proper transition metal ions into place within/onto the carbon beads. Advantageously, the activated carbonaceous bead preferably used according to an aspect of the present invention has, as described above, both an extraordinarily high surface area (e.g., about 1500 m2/gm) and extraordinary hardness (e.g., from about 2 to about 10 times harder than Rohm & Haas and Kureha beads). These carbon beads have the ability and capacity to take up these metallic ions well in excess of previously tried carbon beads of the prior art (e.g., Rohm & Haas and Kureha) while at the same time not measurably diminishing either the surface area of the bead or its hardness. Specifically, activated carbon according to the present invention advantageously retains an effective level of adsorptive ability (i.e., the surface area of the bead is not measurably diminished) despite being wettlerized (and/or imbedded with nanoparticles).

- Thus, a metal-ion-treated carbon bead according to the present invention comprises a highly adsorptive bead which can also react with and neutralize blood agents. Advantageously, the unique surface area and pore distribution at the surface and within the bead provide a hybrid product having unexpected, novel, useful and unique abilities and very desirable properties. In particular, the unique pore distribution of the carbon bead used according to the present invention results in an especially effective overall resultant product having an improved range of protective properties. Specifically, the resultant product comprises a material having both reactive properties for reacting with and/or neutralizing chemical substances (e.g., blood agents) as well adsorptive properties for adsorbing chemical impurities. This reactive-adsorptive material preferably comprises an activated carbon bead manufactured from a gel-type ion exchange resin, wherein the bead is preferably further subjected to a wettlerization process for introducing metal ions within and onto the carbon bead to impart the reactive properties to the bead.
- Whether the threat is chemical or biological and whether it is presented as a liquid or a gas, the barrier which physically and chemically protects the user (e.g., clothing, mask, filter, etc.) is subjected to the following processes when in use:
- (1) Molecules of gaseous chemical agent diffusing through the barrier at some characteristic rate.
- (2) Liquid droplets of chemical agent diffusing unaided or aided by some external pressure through the barrier at some characteristic rate.
- (3) Biological aerosolized microdroplets diffusing at some characteristic rate through the barrier.
- (4) Carbon physically adsorbing organic entities at some characteristic rate of adsorption.
- (5) Iodinated resins or Nanoparticular entities reacting with biological entities and their toxic residues in the latter case at characteristic rates of reaction.
- (6) Entities within carbon reacting with the very fugitive blood agents at some characteristic chemical rate of reaction.
- (7) Normal safe air (O2 and N2, for all practical purposes) and water vapor diffusing through the barrier at their characteristic diffusion rates.
- An ideal response to a chemical/biological threat is to minimize (1), (2), and (3) while maximizing (4) through (7). However, since these processes are coupled to each other, any modestly successful approach walks a fine line to meet these criteria.
- It is to be noted that the reactive-adsorptive materials according to the present invention may further be imparted with reactive biocidal nanoparticles, as per a process described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/372,537. For example, either an improved activated carbon bead according to the present invention by itself as well as an improved activated carbon bead that has been wettlerized can further be subjected to an electromagnetically induced impaction process in combination with simultaneous sieving so as to imbed nanoparticular agglomerated entities into the surface of the beads where they are held in place by the topographical imbedding in the carbon bead and the van der Waals forces between the particle ions and the carbon beads' surface/pore atoms proximate to the nanoparticle. Advantageously, these imbedded nanoparticles impart additional protection by destructively adsorbing chemicals and microorganisms. Specifically, the nanoparticles are able to protect against biological agents by destroying or inactivating microorganisms by attacking their cell membranes and oxidizing important functional proteins or DNA. The process by which the nanoparticles are loaded onto the carbon is an electromagnetically assisted impact collision (MAIC) process which is further described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/372,537 mentioned above.
- The nanoparticles preferably comprise environmentally stable nanometer-sized clusters of atoms and molecules having high surface areas and unique morphologies which result in high chemical reactivity. The reactive/adsorptive particulates used according to the present invention are preferably inorganic, reactive nanoparticulates formed from about 1 nm to about 200 nm sized clusters.
- Reactive nanoparticles used for protective applications are specifically engineered to destructively adsorb chemicals and microorganisms. Specifically, a nanoparticle adsorbs then detoxifies hazardous chemicals by breaking molecular bonds to yield harmless end products. Similarly, the reactive/adsorptive nanoparticles are able to kill or inactivate a microorganism by attacking its cell membrane and oxidizing important functional proteins or DNA.
- Exemplary nanoparticles which may be used include metal oxide composites in powder nanopartculate form. These metal oxide composites comprise metal oxide nanoparticles having oxygen ion moieties on their surfaces with reactive atoms interacted or chemisorbed with those surface oxygen ions. For example, the metal oxide nanoparticles may be taken from the group consisting of oxides of Mg, Ti, Ca, Al, Sn, Fe, Co, V, Mn, Ni, Cr, Cu, Zn, Zr, or mixtures thereof. For example, the metal oxide nanoparticles may comprise MgO, TiO2, CaO, Al2O3, SnO2, Fe2O3, FeO, CoO, V2O5, MnO3, NiO, Cr2O3, CuO, ZnO, ZrO2 and mixtures thereof. Nanoparticles made of metal complexes of hydroxides, metal complexes of hydrates as well as polyoxometallates (POMs) are also suitable. Some of the nanoparticles listed in this paragraph may also be further processed, for example to include reactive halogen atoms, alkali metal atoms, a metal nitrate, SO2, NO2, ozone or a second different metal oxide. Alternate processing can provide a protective coating to the nanoparticles which are not soluble rendering them waterproof. These advanced processing steps are disclosed in the following U.S. Pat. Nos., 6,057,488 and 5,914,436 and 5,990,373 and 5,712,219 and 6,087,294 and 6,093,236 and 5,759,939 and 6,417,423 and in Published U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 2002/0035032, the complete disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference thereto. Any of these products may be incorporated into the multi-functional protective products according to the invention.
- The reactive/adsorbent nanoparticulates are thus advantageously capable of;
- a) Breaking down, decomposing or neutralizing chemicals (e.g. reactive/adsorptive nanoparticulates)
- b) Acting as a biocide, killing microorganisms
- c) Neutralizing chemicals and simultaneously acting as a biocide (e.g. reactive/adsorptive nanoparticulates such as MgO nanoparticles, etc.). These nanoparticles may be enhanced or modified for environmental purposes.
- Thus, the nanoparticles preferably used according to the present invention include at least one of chemically adsorptive nanoparticles, chemically reactive nanoparticles, and biocidally reactive nanoparticles. Further, the nanoparticles used according to the present invention preferably have a Brunauer-Emnmett-Teller (BET) multi-point surface area of at least about 70 m2/g for older nanoparticles to at least about 1200 m2/g or more for more advanced nanoparticles and have an average pore radius of at least about 45 Angstroms to at least about 100 Angstroms.
- In one example, Magnesium Oxide (MgO) nanoparticles in concentrations of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% by weight were loaded onto Ambersorb R-1500 carbon beads (produced by Rohm & Haas). For comparative purposes and for use as a control, Ambersorb carbon was processed in the MAIC system without the addition of nanoparticles. Visual observations of die treated samples indicated good attachment and distribution of the MgO on the Ambersorb carbon.
FIG. 1 depicts an exemplary SEM micrograph of an untreated Ambersorb bead.FIG. 2 depicts an exemplary SEM micrograph of an Ambersorb bead loaded with 1% MgO nanoparticles according to an aspect of the present invention. This resultant treated particle illustrated inFIG. 2 has the appearance of a spherical “cookie” with “raisins” in its surface partially imbedded and partly exposed. - The nanoparticles used in accordance with the invention are those that possess a protective property, i.e. protective nanoparticles or protective nanoparticulate entities. For purposes of this application, the term “protective nanoparticles” encompasses one or more of the following three particular types of nanoparticles: chemically adsorptive nanoparticles; chemically reactive nanoparticles; and biocidally reactive nanoparticles.
- Protective nanoparticles are metal-containing nanoparticles or metal-containing nanocrystals. The metals are present as metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal hydrates, POMs. To enhance their protective properties, such metal-containing protectants may be combined with one of more of a metal oxide, Group I metals, Group IA metals, a reactive halogen, a metal nitrate, SO2, NO2, or ozone.
- It should be noted that a bulk metal-containing particle that is ground down to a powder will not possess the protective properties of the nanoparticles used according to the invention because the ground powder will have conventional surface features. In order to distinguish powders from nanoparticles which may be seemingly in the same size range, the protectants according to the invention are referred to as finely divided nanoparticles or finely divided nanocrystals. Protective nanoparticles are formed from 1 nm to 200 nm sized nanoparticulate clusters. These clusters cling together due to van der Waals forces and therefore have many distinguishable constituent parts. A ground powder is just a single entity, with a uniform exterior surface. In contrast thereto, when the nanometer sized clusters cling together much of their original surface area is preserved providing Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) multi-point surface areas of at least 70 m2/g for early protective nanoparticles and surface areas of at least 1200 m2/g for later versions. These surfaces may contain pores having an average pore radius from 45 Angstroms to 100 Angstroms.
- While the structure, surface area and pore size have imbued the nanoparticles with their protective properties, these structural features have also interfered with past attempts to incorporate the nanoparticles into tangible protective filter precursors. Failed attempts have resulted from an inability to control the van der Waals forces resulting in excessive clumping or from an inability to control the adhesive or retaining means resulting in occluding of useful surface areas or pores. The invention is concerned with products and methods that utilize nanoparticles in a flexible manner to readily incorporate one or more of their chemically adsorptive, chemically reactive or biocidally reactive properties.
- Although illustrative embodiments of the present invention have been described herein, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to those precise embodiments, and that various other changes and modifications may be affected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope or spirit of the present invention. For example, it is expressly intended that all combinations of those carbon beads, metal ions and/or method steps and/or substrate materials which perform substantially the same function in substantially the same way to achieve the same results are within the scope of the invention. Moreover, it should be recognized that any disclosed form or embodiment of the invention may be incorporated in any other disclosed or described or suggested form or as a general matter of compatibility of application method. It is the intention, therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the claims appended hereto.
