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
