A detoxification method includes the steps of inducing flow of patient blood through an extracorporeal device inlet and outlet in fluid connection to the circulatory system of a patient. Biological agents including lipopolysaccharide (LPS) contained within patient blood can be detoxified by passing patient blood over a biochemical reactor surface having attached or immobilized Saccharomyces boulardii alkaline phosphatase enzyme, with the biochemical reactor being contained within the extracorporeal device. An acyloxyacyl hydrolase enzyme may also be used on the biochemical reactor surface.

A process of manufacturing NH2-MIL-125(Ti) for use in mitigating ingress of chlorine ions in concrete, comprising dissolving 2-amino-benzene dicarboxylic acid in a 1:1 ratio of dimethylformamide and methanol, adding a titanium (IV) isopropoxide to the mixture at 150° C. with constant stirring to form NH2-MIL-125(Ti), submerging the NH2-MIL-125(Ti) in dichloromethane for about 3 hours and separating the NH2-MIL-125(Ti). NH2-MIL-125(Ti) produced is activated and ready for use in cement-based concrete structures. NH2-MIL-125(Ti) is enabled to reduce the ingress of chlorine ions in concrete by at least 20%.
