“…The average adult has a blood volume of roughly 5 litres. By far the most abundant cells in blood are erythrocytes (red blood cells), which 25 constitute about 45% of the whole blood by volume. The iron-containing heme portion of hemoglobin facilitates hemoglobin-bound transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide by selectively binding to these respiratory gasses, thereby increasing their solubility in blood.…”

“…Wang et al [201] invented an improved method and an adsorbent for implementing the method to remove the viruses. 25 Filters generally include membrane filters and depth filters [105]. Depth filters have a fibrous, granular or sintered matrix that produces a random porous structure.…”

“…The key parameters used to assess nanofiltration/ultrafiltration are permeate flux, virus LRV (log reduction value) and protein sieving coefficient. The latter two are defined as follows [12] 25 Due to the ease of manufacturing and the low costs, organic or plastic material-based membrane filters are commonly used nowadays for microfiltration (MF) and nanofiltration (NF). MF is the process of removing contaminants in the 0.025 to 10.0 µm range from fluids by passage through a microporous medium, such as a membrane filter.…”

“…Inorganic membranes can offer high thermal stability, high chemical stability and excellent biocompatibility; however the high costs of manufacturing these membranes have prevented their widespread uses [25]. Fortunately, research and technological advance has alleviated the membrane manufacturing problems and reduced the manufacturing costs so that a few 30 inorganic NF membranes are now commercially available.…”

20The development of nanoscience and nanotechnology in the field of ceramics has brought new opportunities for the development of virus removal techniques. A number of nanoceramics, including nanostructured alumina, titania, zirconia etc. have been introduced for the applications in virus removal/separation. Filtration or adsorption of viruses and thus the removal of viruses through nanoceramics, such as nanoporous/mesoporous ceramic 25 membranes, ceramic nanofibres, and ceramic nanoparticles will make it possible to produce an efficient system for virus removal from blood and with excellent chemical/thermal stability. Currently nanoceramic membranes and filters based on sol-gel alumina membranes and NanoCeram® nanofibre filters have been commercialized and applied to remove viruses from the blood. Nevertheless, filtration using nanoprous filters is limited to the removal of 30 only free viruses in the bloodstream.
