Abstract
Abstract Using fibroin derived from Bombyx mori silkworm cocoons multifunctional hemosorbents for the detoxification of blood and blood serum are obtained. Their physicochemical and morphological properties and sorption behavior are studied. It is shown that the resulting hemosorbents exhibit a high sorption activity. In terms of sorption activity, the hemosorbent based on fibroin treated by ultrasound and microwave irradiation ranks above the commercial hemosorbent VNIITU-1 in the Gemos®-KS hemosorption column (NPP Biotech-М).
