An activated silicon-containing aluminum complex for oxidizing and deodorizing purposes, as a byproduct of the previously patent application Ser. No. 07/442,799 relating to an Explosion and Flame Proof Activated Silicon Containing Aluminum Complex. The said newly developed oxidizing and deodorizing complex contains aluminum, hydrogen, oxygen, minor amounts of halogen, and silicon. The silicon being present in amounts of at least trace and having a hexagonal structure; the ratio oxygen and hydrogen in the complex is in equal proportion, forming a peroxide group. The process of attaining such a complex comprises the steps of treating substantially pure aluminum with acid, then with mercury, then partially submerging in a halogen acid in order to create a growth of the said complex on the air-exposed part of the such treated aluminum. The growth when added to bacteria induced odor producing substances eliminates the odor. Also, having a peroxide group the said complex releases when required a sufficient amount of oxygen, in order to convert the CO in CO 2 . |
