Adsorption of small uremic toxin molecules onto zeolites: a first step towards an alternative kidney
The model-like adsorption properties of MFI-type zeolites with different degrees of hydrophobicity and charge compensating cations were investigated for the removal of pcresol from different aqueous solutions at 37°C. Pure silica MFI and alumino-silicate MFI (Si/Al = 30.4), with H+, Na+, K+ and Mg2+ as charge compensating cations were used for the study. Adsorption isotherms and microcalorimetric measurements show a strong affinity of pcresol towards all MFI type zeolites. This strong affinity is still present in physiological serum solution containing urea molecules. The effect of the nature of the charge compensating cation and present water molecules on p-cresol affinity is discussed together with spectroscopic results and Monte-Carlo simulations of the adsorption process.
