An agglomerate is provided that can include an aluminosilicate (ash) base material and one or more of a binding agent or leach reduction agent. Each of the agglomerate and binding agent can include no more than about 25 wt. % cement.

Methods of disposing of pharmaceuticals including liquid pharmaceuticals and dissolved solid pharmaceuticals are disclosed. The methods relate to depositing one or more liquid pharmaceuticals into or onto a substrate that includes (a)(i) fibers, or (ii) both fibers and foam, and (b) activated carbon. The substrate adsorbs active pharmaceutical ingredients and absorbs a carrier liquid to facilitate safe disposal of the one or more liquid pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceutical disposal kits suitable for disposing of liquid pharmaceuticals and dissolved solid pharmaceuticals are also disclosed. The pharmaceutical disposal kits include a substrate that (1) includes (a)(i) fibers or (ii) both fibers and foam, and (b) activated carbon, and (2) is capable of adsorbing active pharmaceutical ingredients and absorbing a carrier liquid to facilitate safe disposal of the one or more liquid pharmaceuticals.

A kitchen garbage treatment material absorbs moisture contained in kitchen garbage, and is constituted by grains. The grains contain a water-absorbent material. The water-absorbent material is constituted by at least one of fluff pulp and water-absorbent polymer that have been obtained by separating plastic from a sanitary product that contains the plastic, the fluff pulp, and the water-absorbent polymer.

The present disclosure relates to a kit for cleaning biological fluids from a surface. The kit comprises at least one protective article of clothing, absorbent powder, a trash bag, surface sanitizer, an absorbent towel, a scraper, a handle, and a dustpan. The dustpan is configured to be securely coupled to the handle. The dustpan has a lid and a base and can alternate between an open position and a self-sealing closed position. In the closed position the base and lid define an interior volume having a height along a y-axis, a width along an x-axis, and a depth along a z-axis. An adhesive strip is coupled to a lip of the dustpan and is configured to interact with a surface and temporarily engage the dustpan with the surface. The absorbent powder is a mixture of a super absorbent polymer and perlite.

The invention relates to a mechanochemical process for decontaminating and/or for eliminating problematic, synthetic, biogenic and biological materials A; for breaking down phosphates B; for immobilising metals and the compounds C thereof; for separating carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide D into elements; and for recovering valuable products E. The process comprises: —providing a material F to be milled containing —at least one material A, B, C and/or D and —at least one type of carbon or carbon-yielding material G, or alternatively providing the components of F and G separately from one another; —filling the material F to be milled into a mechanical mill (1), or alternatively —filling the components of the material F to be milled into a mechanical mill (1) and —milling by means of milling elements (1.2) moved by agitation means (1.4) or by means of rollers (1.4.6); after which —the resulting product I is separated from the milling elements (1.2) or the rollers (1.4.6) and is discharged from the milling chamber (1.1) and worked up. The invention also relates to the use of the products I as valuable materials E, the use of a self-cooling electric motor (4) for driving a mechanochemical mill (1), and mechanochemical mills (1) having new agitation means (1.4).
