1. A solid phase extraction or chromatographic medium comprising(a) a porous nonwoven fibrous matrix comprising fibrillated polytetrafluoroethylene, and(b) sorptive or reactive hydrophobic siliceous molecular sieve particulates having pore diameters in the range of about 5.5 to about 6.2 A enmeshed in said matrix, the ratio of molecular sieves to matrix being in the range of 40:
- 1 to 1;
40,said medium having an essentially homogeneous composition and essentially uniform porosity and being useful to remove organics from aqueous fluids, which aqueous fluids pass through or by said medium.
