Study of agglomeration with national activated carbon for its application in hemofiltration processes
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this work is to develop on agglomeration system that provides activated coal with high mechanical resistance for its application in hemofiltration processes, high specific selectivity and chemical purity, intended for the elimination of toxic compounds from the blood due to acute poisoning. This production consists of different stages such as pyrolysis, activated coal synthesis, chemical purification, development of bio-compatible layers, design of the recipient package and agglomeration, a fuel oil, starch, and molasses as binders, from primary caesarian coal and national coconut shell, which were available in on center (CIPIMM), these tests were carried out by studying pelletization, briquetting and extrusion processes. An activation process is carried out, considering as a general criterion that the binders used had a resistance above 91% ASTM D 3802 Standard. In the briquetting process, resistances between 91.96-92.33% were obtained for caesarian and coconut respectively. All three briquetted binders qualify to undergo the activation process. The agglomeration system by pelleting from caesarian and coconut activated carbons can be considered satisfactory. A formulation of pellets that are very resistant to green fall is obtained, for a mechanical resistance with valves between 93-97% for fuel oil and 96-97 % for molasses, which makes this technology can be applied in hemofiltration processes.
