Silver doped micro porous Zeolitic materials for antimicrobial applications

摘要

In association with upcoming energy demand and fossil fuel crises fastidiously in India; Co–firing i.e. combustion of coal and biomass (rice husk) is gaining considerable attention. The leftover during the process is termed as composite ash consisting amorphous silica as major component. As reputable, Zeolites or Molecular sieves are crystalline hydrated alumino-silicate resin historically known for its unique permeable bare bones which is also an overruling material as ion exchanger, adsorbent and catalyst in chemical reaction. Synthesis of MS-4A from composite ash, silver doping, its physicochemical and analytical characterizations as well as antimicrobial activity are reported in this paper......
