Zusammenfassung:A granular material for the sorption of organic material comprises granules of an inorganic silicon-containing material having negatively charged sites and having an average granule size of at least 50 microns, the granules being porous and coated on their outer and inner surfaces with a film of an organic polymeric material having polar and non-polar moieties. The organic polymeric material may form from 0.25% to 10% by weight of the weight of the inorganic material. The granular material may be prepared by treating an aqueous suspension of the inorganic material with a material comprising the organic polymeric material. The inorganic silicon-containing material may comprise a silicate, eg. an aluminosilicate, eg. a kandite and/or smectite clay which may be a foamed material which has been calcined. The polymeric material may comprise a nitrogen-containing polymer which can be employed in the form of an acid colloidal medium, eg. a melamine-aldehyde polymer.
