A hemoperfusion column based on activated carbon granules coated with an ultrathin membrane of cellulose acetate.

چکیده
A hemoperfusion system has been developed which makes use of activated carbon encapsulated with cellulose acetate. Studies have revealed that there are no stagnant flow regions in the column, there is minimal particle release and the coating is 30 A thick. The relationships between pore size, pore volume and surface area have been examined. Twenty-five patients in grade IV coma have been treated with the column for treatment of drug overdose or agricultural chemical poisoning; the clinical course of one meprobamate-poisoned patient is described in detail.

Extracorporeal Applications of Active Carbons
Hemoadsorption, or hemoperfusion (HP) was introduced by H. Yatzidis in early 1960s [1]. It is an extracorporeal technique that cleanses blood by passing it through an adsorbent column. Active carbon (AC) was the first choice due to its undisputable superiority as an adsorbent over other materials. Although the initial results were very successful, this procedure induced a series of complication...
متن کاملExperience with cellulose acetate-coated activated charcoal haemoperfusion in the treatment of severe hypnotic drug intoxication.
A haemoperfusion column containing activated charcoal coated with cellulose acetate was used to treat 7 patients with barbiturate or ethchlorvynol poisoning. Six of the patients showed marked lightening of coma and all showed a significant fall in plasma drug concentration. Plasma drug clearance and platelet loss were similar to those reported for other coated charcoal columns. Cellulose acetat...
متن کاملA Procedure for Preparation of Semi-activated Carbon Fiber without any Treatment under High Temperature
A procedure for preparation of semi-activated carbon fiber (SACF) without any treatment under high temperature was proposed. The first step of the procedure is coating of an inorganic fiber (E-glass fiber) by an adsorbent mixture including powder activated carbon, methyl cellulose and water. In this work a set of experiments was performed to attain appropriate adsorbent mixture for good quality...
متن کاملCoating membranes for a sorbent-based artificial liver: adsorption characteristics.
Techniques are described for the coating of sorbents to be used in an artificial liver support system based on mixed sorbent bed hemoperfusion. Activated charcoal has been coated with cellulose acetate (CA) by solvent evaporation. With Amberlite XAD-4, the Wurster technique was used for coating with CA. XAD-4 has also been coated with a synthetic polyelectrolyte with anticoagulant activity by a...
متن کاملPebax-Modified Cellulose Acetate Membrane for CO2/N2 Separation
Carbon dioxide (CO2) release from the exhaust gas streams of power plants that burn fossil fuels contributes the most emission of this gas, which includes more than half of the greenhouse effects. Thus, the separation of CO2 from exhaust gases is one of the main environmental concerns. Membrane technology, due to many advantages, has attracted many research attentions among the various gas sepa...
