Application of Carbon Adsorbents in Renal Failure Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main limitation of haemodialysis techniques is the scarce removal of solute in the range of middle to high molecular weight that may cause a progressive accumulation of these molecules with complications in the long term [1]. Moreover haemodialysis requires large amount of dialysate fluid for the removal of uremic metabolites placing a considerable cost burden on the health care provider. The use of adsorbent such as activated carbons may improve efficiency of the extracorporeal techniques either as a material suitable for haemoperfusion or as a method of cleansing and recycling of the patients ultrafiltrate/dialysate produced during HF or HD.

Acute renal failure (ARF) is a condition that affects up to 20% of patients on intensive care units (ICU). Although the most common causes of ARF are sepsis and septic shock [1], acute loss of renal function may also occur following surgery or as a result of trauma, burns or the use of nephrotoxic drugs [2]. Conventional treatment of ARF includes drug therapy in combination with extracorporeal ...

متن کاملAre carbon nanotubes promising adsorbents for water treatment?
Introduction Adsorption is one of the most commonly used technologies to remove organic contaminants from aqueous solution in water treatment. The most conventional adsorbent is activated carbon (AC) – a substance which is extremely porous. However, in several recent studies, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been observed to be more efficient carbonaceous adsorbents than conventional ACs, with high...
متن کاملLow-cost Adsorbents Used in Heavy Metal Contaminated Waste Water Treatment
In this review, adsorbents used in wastewater treatment and their technical feasibilities are reviewed. Adsorbents are classified as natural adsorbents, and the adsorbents obtained from industrial and agricultural wastes. They all were compared with each other condensing the metal binding capacities, costs and metal removal performances in waste water treatments. Although commercial activated c...
