Corn byproducts from milling and corn steep liquor are heated with phytic acid to form a black resin that absorbs lead, chemicals, and pesticides from polluted water. Developed by Jacob Lehrfeld at Peoria's National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, the resin could aid factories and municipal treatment plants, matching the toxin absorption of petroleum-based products.
