SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This patent application claims a method of
manufacturing a remediation material by providing a biogentic material
as a substrate, preparing the surface of the substrate for a chemical
reaction, and performing template-driven surface derivitization on the
surface of the substrate to provide a reactive surface of the substrate
for sorption of chemical species or sorption and degradation of
chemical species. The remediation material may be placed into contact
with surface water, ground water, soil, or sediment by at least one
permeable reactive barrier, direct introduction of the material into
soil or sediment, to remove contaminants from the surface water, ground
water, soil, or sediment.
