Carbon-mineral sorbents successfully combine a high mechanical resistance of the mineral matrix and a high activity of carbons. It is possible to prepare a mineral matrix of the wanted structure and use it as the basis for producing carbon-mineral sorbents. SUMS-1 and SUMS-2 are the sorbents of mild action. In other words, they cause no thrombosis, they do not absorb oxygen and protein from blood, and they have almost no destructive effect on the blood cells. The sorbents are highly effective in adsorbing microorganisms and their toxins. Treatment of patients with different diseases (sepsis, meningitis, bronchial asthma, tuberculosis, pneumonia, thyrotoxicosis, pancreatitis, liver coma, different types of poisoning) with the SUMS-1 and SUMS-2 has given satisfactory results.

Removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) from water or their immobilization in soil using carbon-based sorbents is one of the cost-effective techniques. Considering the variety of carbon-based sorbents, identifying the key sorbent properties responsible for PFASs removal from solution or immobilization in the soil can assist in the selection of the best sorbents for management of contaminated sites. This study evaluated the performance of 28 carbon-based sorbents including granular and powdered activated carbon (GAC and PAC), mixed mode carbon mineral material, biochars, and graphene-based materials (GNBs).

A comparative study of the effect of a sorbent with nanotubes (AlO@ WCNT-PDMS) and a carbon-mineral sorbent (AlO@C) on the parameters of human erythrocytes was carried out. Using scanning flow cytometry, the morphological and functional parameters of venous blood erythrocytes as well as drainage blood after its perfusion through columns with sorbents were determined. The compared samples AlO@SWCNT-PDMS and AlO@C are similar by their effect on the morphological and functional parameters of erythrocytes.

The previously developed pH swing carbon mineral sequestration immobilizes the gaseous CO2 into a thermodynamically stable solid, MgCO3, using Mg-bearing minerals such as serpentine. This mineral carbonation technology is particularly promising since it generates value-added solid products: high surface area silica, iron oxide, and magnesium carbonate, while providing a safe and permanent storage option for CO2. By carefully controlling the pH of the system, these solids products can be produced with high purity.

The surface of SUMS1 was studied using scanning electron microscopy after contact with the wound contact. In vivo sorbent action was found to differ from in vitro adsorption properties of sorption drugs, as during the contact with organism tissue in the inflammation focus granule active surface is covered by fibrin, to which necrotic tissues, bacteria and immunocompetent cells adhere. The use of sorption drainage in acute and chronic inflammation lowers the challenge on lymphatic tissue because removal of sorption preparations also causes elimination of large fragments of non viable tissues, antigens and protein-cellular conglomerates that might block lymphatic vessels and regional lymph nodes.
