Process for internally loading liquids onto carriers and achieving dry liquid concentrates

Abstract

Process for internally loading liquids onto carriers and achieving time-release dry liquid concentrate. The resulting time-release dry liquid concentrates having a variety of applications, including animal attractants and repellants, down hole chemicals, flavors and fragrances of food and beverages, treatment of contaminants, fertilizers, vitamins.

1 . A time-release dry liquid concentrate, comprising:
 a solid carrier selected from the group consisting of scoria, perlite, pumice, aerogels, activated alumina, fullerenes, graphite, molybdenum, magnetite, vermiculite, activated charcoal, cellulose, superabsorbent polymers, chitin, and precipitated silica; and   a liquid mixed with the solid carrier.   
     
     
         2 . The time-release dry liquid concentrate of  claim 1  wherein the liquid is a bacterial solution. 
     
     
         3 . The time-release dry liquid concentrate of  claim 2  wherein the bacterial solution is 52% of the dry liquid concentrate by weight. 
     
     
         4 . The time-release dry liquid concentrate of  claim 3  wherein the solid carrier is activated charcoal. 
     
     
         5 . A method for making a dry liquid concentrate comprising:
 placing a solid carrier selected from the group consisting of scoria, perlite, pumice, aerogels, activated alumina, fullerenes, graphite, molybdenum, magnetite, vermiculite, activated charcoal, cellulose, superabsorbent polymers, chitin, and precipitated silica into a mixing device;   placing liquid into the mixing device;   mixing the solid and the liquid in the mixing device; and   drying the mixture.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the steps are carried out a first time to form a first mixture and comprising the following additional steps:
 placing a solid carrier selected from the group consisting of scoria, perlite, pumice, aerogels, activated alumina, fullerenes, graphite, molybdenum, magnetite, vermiculite, activated charcoal, cellulose, superabsorbent polymers, chitin, and precipitated silica into a mixing device; 
 placing liquid into the mixing device; 
 mixing the solid and the liquid in the mixing device to form a second mixture; and 
 blending the first mixture with the second mixture.
