The present invention provides a process for producing granular material useful as a phosphorus removal aggregate and involves the mixing of a pulverized calcium or magnesium oxide material with a dewatered clay waste material in a paddle or ribbon type mixer until reaching a state of a uniform consistency paste like material and then allowing such material to cure for several days while periodically mixing to expose new surface area thereof to the air to facilitate evaporation until the water content of the cured material is less than six percent.

1. A process for the manufacture of phosphorus removal aggregate, wherein the process comprises the steps: providing a pulverized material, wherein the pulverized material is calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, or a mixture thereof;forming a paste-like material, further comprising the steps: providing a dewatered clay waste material having a density of approximately 35% to 50% solids;adding a fine solid organic material to the dewatered clay waste material along with the pulverized material;mixing the pulverized material with the dewatered clay waste material in a mixing device until reaching a consistency of approximately 2.5 to 50% oxide material; andallowing the paste-like material to cure to a water content of 6% or less, wherein the cure is performed by: air drying; orby heating to low temperatures while periodically mixing to expose new surface area thereof to the air to facilitate evaporation. 2. The process as recited in claim 1, further comprising kilning the cured material in a batch or rotary kiln, further comprising the steps of heating the cured material to a temperature of approximately 1800 to 2000° F. for 30 to 60 minutes; andallowing the cured material to cool. 3. The process of claim 2, wherein the step of heating the cured material is performed at a rate of 500° F. per hour until the material reached a temperature of 1,000° F., and wherein the step of heating the cured material is performed at a rate of 250° F. per hour when the material is above a temperature of 1,000° F. 4. The process of claim 3, wherein the cured material is held at final temperature for 30 minutes. 5. The process as recited in claim 1, wherein the fine solid organic material is Canadian peat, Canadian peat fines or dust residue form Canadian peat processing. 6. The process of claim 5, wherein the fine organic solid material is added at ½ pounds to 1 pound of fine solid organic material to 10 pounds of clay waste material. 7. The process of claim 5, further comprising: heating the mixed pulverized material and dewatered clay waste material to 125° F.; andmixing the heated pulverized material and dewatered clay waste material to a uniform composition prior to kilning, where the uniform composition has a water content of about 5%. 8. The process as recited in claim 1, wherein the fine solid organic material is saw dust, or wood residue originating from the processing of raw timber into lumber or other products. 9. The process as recited in claim 1, wherein the fine solid organic material is waste cellulose fiber produced as a byproduct of the manufacturing of paper products. 10. The process as recited in claim 1, wherein the fine solid organic material is lake bottom sludge or partially decayed vegetation removed from lakes and water bodies during remediation and depth restoration efforts. 11. The process as recited in claim 1, wherein said mixing device is a paddle, ribbon or pug mill type mixer. 12. The process of claim 1, wherein the clay waste material is kaolinite, illite, or gibbsite. 13. The process of claim 1, wherein the clay waste material is dewatered in a settling pond, centrifuged, or flocculated using thickeners. 14. The process of claim 1, further comprising centrifuging, filtering, or thickening the dewatered clay waste material before mixing the pulverized material with the dewatered clay waste material. 15. A process for the manufacture of phosphorus removal aggregate, wherein the process comprises the steps: providing a pulverized material, wherein the pulverized material is calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, or a mixture thereof;forming a paste-like material, further comprising the steps: providing a dewatered clay waste material having a density of approximately 35% to 50% solids;mixing the pulverized material with the dewatered clay waste material in a mixing device until reaching a consistency of approximately 2.5 to 50% oxide material; andallowing the paste-like material to cure to a water content of 6% or less, wherein the cure is performed by: air drying; orby heating to low temperatures while periodically mixing to expose new surface area thereof to the air to facilitate evaporation. 16. The process as recited in claim 15, further comprising kilning the cured material in a batch or rotary kiln, further comprising the steps of heating the cured material to a temperature of approximately 1800 to 2000° F. for 30 to 60 minutes; andallowing the cured material to cool. 17. The process as recited in claim 15, further comprising adding a fine solid organic material to the dewatered clay waste material, wherein the fine solid organic material is peat, wood processing byproduct, cellulose byproduct, or vegetation; wherein the peat is Canadian peat, Canadian peat fines or dust residue form Canadian peat processing;wherein the wood processing byproduct is saw dust, or wood residue originating from the processing of raw timber into lumber or other products;wherein the cellulose byproduct is waste cellulose fiber produced as a byproduct of the manufacturing of paper products; andwherein the vegetation is lake bottom sludge or partially decayed vegetation removed from lakes and water bodies during remediation and depth restoration efforts. 18. The process of claim 15, further comprising: heating the mixed pulverized material and dewatered clay waste material to 125° F.; andmixing the heated pulverized material and dewatered clay waste material to a uniform composition prior to kilning, where the uniform composition has a water content of about 5%. 19. The process of claim 15, further comprising centrifuging, filtering, or thickening the dewatered clay waste material before mixing the pulverized material with the dewatered clay waste material.
