Tight sorption of arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead by edible activated carbon and acid-processed montmorillonite clay

This in vitro and animal study investigated the use of medical-grade activated carbon (MAC) and acid-processed montmorillonite clay (APM) as edible agents for binding and neutralizing heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead. Using adsorption/desorption isotherms and a simulated gastrointestinal model, the study demonstrated that MAC strongly adsorbs

β-Lactoglobulin Enhances Clay and Activated Carbon Binding and Protection Properties for Cadmium and Lead

This 2024 in vitro study explored the use of β-lactoglobulin, a whey protein, to enhance the heavy metal-binding capabilities of clay and activated carbon for detoxifying cadmium and lead. Researchers found that combining β-lactoglobulin with these adsorbents significantly increased their binding capacity, likely due to the protein’s chelating properties, which
