title: Physicochemical properties and applications of carbon-mineral sorbents.
abstract: Carbon-mineral sorbents successfully combine a high mechanical resistance of the mineral matrix and a high activity of carbons. It is possible to prepare a mineral matrix of the wanted structure and use it as the basis for producing carbon-mineral sorbents. SUMS-1 and SUMS-2 are the sorbents of mild action. In other words, they cause no thrombosis, they do not absorb oxygen and protein from blood, and they have almost no destructive effect on the blood cells. The sorbents are highly effective in adsorbing microorganisms and their toxins. Treatment of patients with different diseases (sepsis, meningitis, bronchial asthma, tuberculosis, pneumonia, thyrotoxicosis, pancreatitis, liver coma, different types of poisoning) with the SUMS-1 and SUMS-2 has given satisfactory results.
