Acidic solutions of poorly soluble Group IIA complexes ("AGIIS"), their preparation and use. AGIIS is a mixture of a mineral acid (such as sulfuric acid) and a hydroxide of group IIA (such as calcium hydroxide or a group IIA salt of a dibasic acid, or a mixture of these two group IIA compounds) to remove the resulting solid. Various uses include cleaning, food production, decontamination, bioremediation, agricultural applications, medical applications, and detoxification of multiple substances. |
