Abstract
- Zeolite powders were first treated with hydrochloric acid, then reacted with sodium chloride, and sodium zeolite (Na-Zeolite) powders were obtained. Further Antibacterial zeolite powders were prepared by loading metal ions such as, Ag<superscript>+ </superscript>and Zn<superscript>2+</superscript>, Ag<superscript>+ </superscript>and Cu<superscript>2+</superscript>, Zn<superscript>2+</superscript>and Cu<superscript>2+</superscript>, Ag<superscript>+ </superscript>and Cu<superscript>2+</superscript>and Zn<superscript>2+</superscript>, through ion exchange. The powders were characterized by minimum Inhibitory concentration (MIC), SEM/EDXA and XRD. Antibacterial paper with antibacterial zeolite powders as filler was fabricated. The results demonstrated that MIC of loading (Ag<superscript>+</superscript>+Zn<superscript>2+</superscript>) zeolite was 125ppm against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli . MIC of loading (Ag<superscript>+</superscript>+Cu<superscript>2+</superscript>+Zn<superscript>2+</superscript>) zeolite was 62.5ppm against Candida albicans and Aspergillus Niger. By adding 6% of (Ag<superscript>+</superscript>+Zn<superscript>2+</superscript>), (Ag<superscript>+</superscript>+Cu<superscript>2+</superscript>), and (Ag<superscript>+</superscript>+Cu<superscript>2+</superscript>+Zn<superscript>2+</superscript>) antibacterial zeolite powders, respectively, antibacterial paper were prepared; and the antibacterial rate of these papers against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and Aspergillus Niger for 4h is close to 100%.
