Characteristics of Trimethoprim Adsorption on Attapulgite Iraqi Clay

Abstract

Adsorption characteristics of trimethoprim medicine were determined using Attapulgite an Iraqi clay of 75 µm grain particle size in order to verify its capability as a poison antidote, adsorption process was very adequate within 30 minutes. Followed by minor and slow desorption process occurred after 60 minutes. Physical properties such as ∆H, ∆G, ∆S and K were determined and documented for this work.
