Both of these procedures can be used for overdose/toxicity treatment in an emergency.
Hemodialysis is having blood pumped out of the body and equalize with a column filled with isoosmotic solution and electrolytes (think of it as a second kidney).
Hemopurfusion is pumping blood out of the body and running it through a column of activated charcol (which will bind to most poisons). This of this as giving activated charcol in a more rapid pace.

since 1999, all hemoperfusion systems manufactured in the United States use cartridges or columns containing carbon sorbents
Why is hemoperfusion defined as an extracorporeal form of treatment?
Hemoperfusion is sometimes described as an extracorporeal form of treatment because the blood is pumped through a device outside the patient's body.
