Electrochemical processes at the carbon sorbent/biological fluid interface.
At the carbon material/electrolyte interface there is a potential jump due to adsorbed oxygen reduction to hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl ions. The formation of such a potential imparts oxidizing properties to carbon when they are in contact with biological fluids. The kinetics of carbon potential formation has been investigated, the peculiarities of polarization of carbons by an external electric field and their ability to effect the electrooxidation of some blood metabolistes have been determined. An electrochemical model for blood damage by carbon sorbents is proposed.
