ABSTRACT
The aim of this work is devoted to the study of methods for extracting cholesterol from its solutions using sorbents based on carbon nanotubes. Numerical modeling of processes was carried out with the purpose of revealing mechanisms of interaction of nanotubes with cholesterol, as well as with high- and low-density lipoproteins. Numerical modeling was carried out using molecular dynamics. An experiment was performed to adsorb cholesterol from its solution using powdered nanotubes. This study qualitatively confirmed the fact of adsorption of cholesterol by carbon nanotubes from its solutions.
