The adsorption of four drugs with certain toxicity, i.e. chlorpromazine, quinidine, diazepam and phenobarbital on attapulgite and Cross-linked Agar Beads Entrapped Attapulgite(CAA) was determined in this study. The results revealed that attapulgite possessed high adsorption for the cation drugs(chlorpromazine and quinidine), moderate adsorption for diazepam, and slight adsorption for phenobabital. The adsorption in attapulgite was quite quick and came to equilibrium in about 30 min. No significant difference(P > 0.05) of adsorption on attapulgite was observed at 30 min and 60 min. The adsorbent selectivity on CAA was the same as that on attapulgite. The speed of the adsorption was slower on CAA than on attapulgite, but the quantity adsorpted on CAA and that on attapulgite had no marked difference(P > 0.05) after 60 min. CAA preserved the adsorption property of attapulgite fundamentally. CAA overcame the dispersibility of attapulgite distinctly and showed good hemocompatibility and a fair blood flow rate in hemoperfusion. It may play an important role in the separation of blood components and in hemopurification.
