[Dependence of equilibrium and kinetic parameters of erythromycin: a sorption on the structural characteristics of the biosorbent].

The use of special synthetic sorbents with surface carboxyl groups allowed us to increase fourfold the effective diffusion coefficient for erythromycin. The maximum sorption capacity for the antibiotic exceeded twofold that observed in experiments with a macroporous sulfocation exchanger MN-500. The sorption of the antibiotic was completely reversible upon treatment with a combined eluant that competitively interacts with the sorbent and does not impair the structural characteristics of erythromycin.
