PREPARATION AND STUDY OF NOVEL COMPOSITE ENTEROSORBENTS BASED ON POROUS MODIFIED CARBON-FIBERS AND SELECTIVE MINERAL SORBENTS

novel composite enterosorbent, Ultrasorb, in the form of pellets was p roposed. The enterosorbent is based on a directionally modified carbon fabric and clay mineral palygorskite and can be used as an efficient prolonged-action preparation for correcting the salt composition of bi ological fluids in the human body. Ultrasorb is used for treating ecol ogy-dependent diseases through general detoxification of human body in parallel with removal of radionuclides. A formulation with a variable binding agent was developed, and the optimal parameters for producing pellets of mired organomineral preparations were elucidated. Also, th e structure-sorption characteristics of the starting components anti e nd sorption products with respect to substances with various molecular weights, as well as ilo radiocesium and radiostrontium, were determin ed. The selectivity coefficients of the enterosorbent with respect to the latter radionuclides in sorption from solutions simulating the bio logical fluids of the human body were elucidated.
