RT Journal Article T1 Biopolymer-coated hydroxyapatite foams: A new antidote for heavy metal intoxication A1 Sánchez Salcedo, Sandra A1 Vila Juárez, Mercedes A1 Izquierdo Barba, Isabel A1 Cicuéndez Maroto, Mónica A1 Vallet Regí, María Dulce Nombre AB Novel 3D-macroporous biopolymer-coated hydroxyapatite foams are potential devices for the treatment of heavy-metal intoxication by ingestion. These foams are designed to exhibit a fast and efficient metal ion immobilization into the HA structure in acidic media. The capture process of metal ions is stable, not releasing any metal ion when the foams are soaked in clean basic media afterwards. These two steps mimic a digestion process.
