Abstract
In this study, the adsorption properties of carbon materials synthesized from rice husks for the elimination capacity of proinflammatory cytokines: tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukins IL-6, and IL-8 was invesitgated. The sorbents were obtained by chemically activating rice husks impregnated with phosphoric acid in a 2:1 ratio for 1 hours at 400-500°C. The textural characteristics of the samples were examined using low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption, mercury porosimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. The studied samples of carbon from carbonized rice husk (KRSh-R-400A/V, KRSh-R-500A/V) showed high adsorption results of inflammatory cytokines compared to commercial mesoporous spherical carbon TE7.
