The overbed table locker is a locking case configured for use with the table top of an overbed table. The overbed table locker attaches to the tabletop. The overbed table locker securely stores the domestic articles within the overbed table locker. The overbed table locker comprises a container, a lid, a plurality of hinges, a plurality of lid supports, a locking latch, a fastening device, and a cupholder. The plurality of hinges attaches the lid to the container. The plurality of lid supports controls the opening and the closing of the lid. The lid and the locking latch control access to the interior of the container. The superior surface of the lid forms a replacement horizontal surface. The fastening device attaches the container to the overbed table. The cupholder attaches to the container. The cupholder provides an alternate storage arrangement for a beverage that does not require space on the replacement horizontal surface.

A three step process for regenerating spent bleaching clays and acid-activated smectite catalyst granules includes: (1) an extraction step to remove a majority of entrained oil, preferably about 75% to about 95% by weight of the entrained oil, when regenerating bleaching clays; (2) an oxidation step to remove the majority of remaining carbonaceous adsorbates which are not removed by the preceding extraction step, and (3) an acid wash step to restore the acidity normally associated with fresh acid-activated bleaching clays. The features of steps 2 and 3 may be combined into a single step by using an appropriate oxidant, for example, a source of acidic protons, such as peracetic acid.
