Agricultural waste obtained from Elaeis guineensis mid ribs can provide a veritable source of materials which can be used as precursor materials for the production of pharmaceutical grade activated charcoal. The pore size and surface morphology of activated charcoal defines the types of molecules
The effects of two different oral charcoal suspensions on the elimination of a 200 mg/70 kg, 1 h intravenous (i.v.) infusion of phenobarbital and the tolerances of the two regimens were determined in a randomized crossover study in six healthy male volunteers. Phenobarbital was given i.v. alone or
