Summary:Synthetic diamond presents a new class of carbon containing adsorbents. Diamond is an efficient adsorbent of blood plasma toxins of organic and inorganic origins. Thermal or electrochemical modification of the diamond surface substantially increases its ability to adsorb. Diamond adsorbents are characterised by a selective adsorption mechanism: a hydrophobic surface adsorbs mainly cations of heavy metals and a hydrophilic surface absorbs organic molecules.
