Abstract

The catalytic properties of carbon hemosorbents were investigated in reactions of the decomposition of peroxide compounds simulating the peroxides of lipids. It was shown that SKN carbons have much higher catalytic activity than SKS or VAS-MU. A mechanism of the catalytic action of the carbons during hemocarboperfusion is proposed on the basis of theories of radical-chain degenerate branched processes. It is concluded that catalytic reactions must be taken into account in extracorporal detoxification. The mechanism that is given is in agreement with the experimental data according to the intensity of the EPR signal in the blood during ischemic heart disease and other pathologies.
