Compositions formed in accordance with a method of controllably altering the mineral matter transformation of mineral compositions such as, for example, vermiculitic micas, to achieve metamorphosed mineral compositions having specifically desired monatomic lattice defects are provided that exhibit physical properties desirable in a variety of industrial applications, including, for example, control and/or reduction of NO, SO, COand other gaseous chemical species from industrial effluents, atmospheric control systems, fabrication and use of chemical detectors, and solid state electronic substrates and devices.

System for treating gaseous streams using metamorphosed mineral compositions having internal lattice defects

A method of controllably altering the mineral matter transformation of mineral compositions such as, for example, vermiculitic micas, to achieve metamorphosed mineral compositions having specifically desired monatomic lattice defects is provided. Compositions formed in accordance with the method are also provided that exhibit physical properties desirable in a variety of industrial applications, including, for example, control and/or reduction of NO, SO, COand other gaseous chemical species from industrial effluents, atmospheric control systems, fabrication and use of chemical detectors, and solid state electronic substrates and devices.
