    Abstract

    In the present research, the cation exchange property of clinoptilolite is used due to its negative charge in its structure. The subject of this research is related to medical nanotechnology, due to the nanohole And the porosity of clinoptilolite and the high absorption level of this zeolite is high. The negative charge that is created due to the higher number of aluminum atoms in this natural aluminosilicate is scattered throughout the cavities and channels of this zeolite. Considering that paraquat (a bipyridyl herbicide) is a divalent cation. Poison with clinical symptoms, determining the amount of this poison in the blood can greatly help toxicologists in timely and effective treatment of poisoning with this poison. However, extracting this poison from the blood with organic solvents is extremely difficult due to its high solubility in the water environment, and the recovery is low. In this research, the absorption and release of paraquat from clinoptilolite will be compared with the cation exchange resin of propyl carboxylic acid (PCA). The recovery parameters are LOD (Limit Of Detection). or the lowest limit of detection, (Limit Of Quantification) LOQ or the lowest limit of measurement, and WRE (Within Run Error) or error within the experiment, for extracting paraquat from blood by clinoptilolite was 3.4 ± 81.7, 0.58 µgr/ml, 1.93 µgr/ml, 7.1% respectively. And for extracting paraquat from blood by propyl carboxylic acid (PCA) resin, respectively 83.6 ± 3.2, 0.49 µgr/ml, 1.63 µgr/ml, 6.3%. The results showed that clinoptilolite can be effectively used as an adsorbent with cation exchange property in extracting paraquat from blood. The pore size of clinoptilolite is 0.7×7 ?×(0.5 nm), the cation exchange capacity of clinoptilolite is about 1.6-1.4 meq/gr and the cation exchange capacity of propyl carboxylic acid is 10 meq/gr. According to the cation exchange capacity of clinoptilolite and propyl carboxylic acid, it is predicted that each gram of these materials can extract 1.6-1.4 meq/gr of paraquat (equivalent to 130-149 mg) and 10 meq/gr of paraquat (equivalent to 931 mg). The specific surface (BET) of clinoptilolite was measured using a Nano SORD device The size of clinoptilolite particles was measured using a particle size analyzer (Master sizer). The value of zeta potential was measured using a device (Zetasizer), -27.9 mV. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) pictures of clinoptilolite were obtained using a field-emission scanning electron microscope. Experiments with a particle size analyzer confirm the particle size of 11-40 micrometers for this powder.

    1-1 statement of the problem

    Zeolites are nanoporous and nanostructured crystalline hydrated aluminosilicate materials that exist naturally and artificially and have many applications in industry and medicine. Chemical formula Zeolites are Mx/n[(Alo2)x(SiO2)Y]WH2O, where M is a cation from the category of alkaline or alkaline earth metals, n is the cation capacity, W is the number of water molecules in a crystal unit cell, and x, y are the total number of tetrahedral units in a crystal unit cell. These mineral compounds have many applications in various industries and medicine Such as high surface absorption for water, gases and various materials and high ion exchange capacity for cations. Due to having an aluminosilicate structure, zeolites can absorb different materials to their surface. Paraquat with the brand name Gramaxone is a bipyridyl herbicide and an organic divalent cation, which has a high mortality rate. Although paraquat can be easily detected in urine using the sodium dithionite test at a level of 1 ?g/ml, measuring the plasma level of paraquat is a more accurate method to predict poisoning.Although paraquat can be easily detected in urine using the sodium dithionite test at the level of 1 microgram per milliliter, measuring the plasma level of paraquat is a more accurate method to predict the state of poisoning, so that at a plasma level of 2 mg/liter, 4 hours after consumption, 0.2 mg/liter, 24 hours after consumption, and 0.1 mg/liter, 48 hours after consumption, death occurs. because paraquat is highly ionized and polar in water, this compound tends to remain in the aqueous phase and it cannot be extracted by liquid-liquid extraction to a high extent. In this research, using clinoptilolite particles (which have ion exchange properties) as the stationary phase, paraquat (which is an organic divalent cation) will be extracted from blood by cation exchange solid phase extraction method. This research is an approach to investigate the interaction of paraquat herbicide with nano-structured materials and to create a new, simple, cheap and high-efficiency method for more appropriate and effective extraction of this substance from blood using nanotechnology. rtl;">1-2 research objectives:

    1-4 definitions of words

    1-4-1 What is nano?

    The term nanotechnology was first used by Tokyo University of Science Professor Noriotaniguchi in 1974. He used this term to describe the construction of precise materials (devices) whose dimensions are in nanometers. In 1986, this term was re-created and redefined by Drexler in a book entitled Engine of Creation, the beginning of the era of nanotechnology.
