[The sorption of poliovirus type 2 by a carbon sorbent]

Materials are presented concerning the study of a possibility to use highly active carbon sorbent "Dnepr-MH" to liberate the tape water from enteroviruses. Investigations were carried out on the model of the vaccine strain of type-II poliovirus. The sorbent samples, most active in respect of the virus sorption and differing by benzene capacity, were determined. Optimal concentration of a sorbent has been established, pH and water temperature were chosen under which the sorption processes are more active. High efficiency of tape water deprive of enterovirus pollution with the help of the above sorbent is demonstrated in the experiment.
