SIMULATION OF THE RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR OF ENTEROSORBENTS IN THE GASTROENTERIC TRACT IN VITRO
T. A. Savitskaya, T. N. Nevar, and D. D. Grinshpan UDC [532.135+66.063.67]:661.183.2 The influence of the temperature, pH, and a polymer on the properties and stability of activated coal suspensions serving as nonspecific enterosorbents has been considered. The rheological properties of the small-intestine chyme in vitro and the influence of an enterosorbent on them have been investigated. The advantages of using a water-soluble cellulose polyelectrolyte, as compared to an amylum, for preparation of tableted or grained activated coal are demonstrated.
