The in vitro investigation of coconut charcoal adsorp tion for the substances was performed. Also direct hemo perfusions were conducted in dogs with renal or liver insufficiencies and then evaluated.
Beads activated charcoal derived from petroleum is found to be more excellent than activated charcoal. It releases far less pulverized carbon and has adsorption 4-5times over coconut activated charcoal. Beads activated charcoal shows high adsorption for the substances of 100-5000 molecular weights, whereas coconut activated char coal has good adsorption for those of 100-1000 molecular weights.
The artificial liver is a combination of microencapsula ted Beads Type activated charcoal and a body fluids correction system with special dialysate. Namely the system is multifunctional in that it corrects for the body fluids as well as adsorbs and eliminates toxic substances.
