Disclosed is a process for producing an enhanced adsorbent particle comprising contacting a non-amorphous, non-ceramic, crystalline, porous, calcined, aluminum oxide particle that was produced by calcining at a particle temperature of from 300 C to 700 C, with an acid for a sufficient time to increase the adsorbent properties of the particle. A process for producing an enhanced adsorbent particle comprising contacting a non-ceramic, porous, oxide adsorbent particle with an acid for a sufficient time to increase the adsorbent properties of the particle is also disclosed. Particles made by the disclosed and particle uses, such as remediation of waste streams, are also provided. A method for producing an adsorbent and/or catalyst and binder system is also disclosed. The disclosure also relates to particles made by the process, binders, and methods for remediating contaminants in a stream. Also disclosed is an anchored adsorbent and/or catalyst and binder system |
