[Study of a plate apparatus for membrane extraction in detoxication of biological fluids]

The structure of a plate apparatus for detoxication of biological fluids has been described. The operation of the apparatus for cholesterol recovery from blood and artificial biological fluid by the extracting emulsions "water in oil" has been investigated. The parameters of the apparatus, such as the number of plates, the height of the apparatus, the volume of extracting emulsion, have been determined. The blood flow velocity which excludes the entry of extracting emulsion drops into biological fluid has been chosen. The values of cholesterol recovery (22.4%) and of red blood cell hemolysis when blood is present in the working apparatus chamber have been defined.
