title: Vibrofluidized bed coating of hemoperfusion adsorbents.
abstract: A vibrated fluidized bed was used to apply a coating of cellulose nitrate to petroleum derived bead activated charcoal. The result was a tightly adherent and uniform coating. The coated activated charcoal has applications in hemoperfusion for detoxification and artificial liver support.
