A composition of matter is described characterized by its qualities to adsorb scents present in gas, liquid and solid matter phases, while simultaneously serving as a carrier for an active ingredient or combination of active ingredients. The composition may also include an additive. The active ingredients are simultaneously and/or independently released gradually by the carrier, or a combination of carriers.

An animal litter composition having reduced adhesive properties, and a related method, are disclosed. The animal litter can include a clay-based liquid absorbing material, a filler including one or both of the following: a non-absorbent, non-soluble substrate; an absorbent substrate, and at least one oil present in an amount such that the animal litter composition has a total oil content of about 1.0% by weight to about 7.5% by weight based on the total weight of the animal litter composition.

An embodiment of the present invention relates to an adsorbent which contains a fine particle compound containing an aluminosilicate compound and activated carbon particles, wherein the fine particle compound containing an aluminosilicate compound has a specific surface area of 300 m.sup.2/g or more and an average particle size of 10 to 200 μm and includes particles having a particle size of 10 μm or less in volume particle size distribution at 10 volume % or less, and the activated carbon particles have a mode diameter of 0.06 to 0.6 mm.

The invention provides for method for forming an artificial turf infill material. The method comprises selecting from a zeolite ore a microporous zeolite mineral using a selection criterion on specific surface area of the mineral, thereby providing the artificial turf infill material.

A method is described for improving water retention in soil, which involves mixing a super absorbing resin (SAR) composite with the soil. The SAR composite comprises a natural pozzolan and at least one polymer or copolymer. The SAR composite may be in the form of granules having an average longest dimension of 0.2-10 mm, though the SAR composite may be pelletized or formed in other sizes. The SAR composite may release water at a faster rate in a soil when exposed to drought conditions.
