Activated carbon It is widely used in various industries, and can certainly play a unique role in the medical industry. However, if activated carbon is used to adsorb human metabolites, it is necessary to consider where and how to use it. This is also a big difference in the application of activated carbon in water treatment.

Oral activated carbon:

Oral activated carbon refers to the use of activated carbon to absorb toxic substances in digestive organs and then excrete them with stool. It is mainly used for detoxification after morphine, atropine, mercurous chloride and other drugs are poisoned. After patients with poor renal function take activated carbon, in addition to reducing the burden on the kidneys, it can also delay the use of hemodialysis, which has a good effect on patients. Although some researchers believe that the digestive organ is not an adsorption site, and taking solid activated carbon is likely to damage the inner wall of the digestive organ, it is a convenient place to use adsorbents.

Activated carbon is used for blood purification:

With the development of artificial kidney technology, even patients with complete loss of kidney function do not mean they are going to die. Researchers have begun to study blood purification methods based on activated carbon adsorption and activated carbon filtration.

Activated carbon is used for regeneration of dialysate:

Activated carbon adsorption has been used to remove various impurities for a long time. Researchers have begun to study how to reduce the amount of dialysate required by activated carbon.
