Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In the present investigation, carbonized rice husk (CRH) were used as a feedstock for obtaining experimental samples of a carbon monolith. The choice of carbonized rice husk is due to environmental friendliness and availability, optimal physico-chemical and structural features. CRH was obtained by carbonization of rice husks in steam at 900-950°C, followed by demineralization of 2-15% nitric acid. The article is devoted to the study of carbon material for use in medicine. In this work, 9 samples of a carbon monolith with different ratios of components were obtained. The sam ples were obtained on the basis of CRH and plastic mass, which were used as binders. A sample with optimal characteristics was determined: sorption capacity 75.6%, specific surface according to the multi-current BET method 360.56 m2, sorption of ethyl alcohol in biological media 50%. Sorption capacity was determined using methylene blue dye, which simulates medium molecular weight toxicants. The specific surface area was measured on a sorbtometer using the multiprecision BET method, and the sorption of ethyl alcohol in biological media was determined on a chromatograph. It has been established that the carbon-silicon composition of the sorbent has the mildest sorption compared to the pure carbon composition. Sample No. 8 has a high specific surface area and sorption capacity, which will allow it to absorb a wide range of toxins of various origins, including biological fluids
