The influence of the temperature, pH, and a polymer on 
the properties and stability of activated coal suspensions serving 
as nonspecific enterosorbents has been considered. The rheological 
properties of the small-intestine chyme in vitro and the influence 
of an enterosorbent on them have been investigated. The advantages 
of using a water-soluble cellulose polyelectrolyte, as compared to 
an amylum, for preparation of tableted or grained activated coal are 
demonstrated.
