Abstract
Microwave-activated carbons from walnut shells (ACMW) were impregnated with Ag and Se nanoparticles and with the Enoxil biologically active preparation, and the microbiological properties of the obtained composites were studied. To increase the functionality of the adsorbent, the activated carbon was oxidized with ozone, resulting in ACMWO containing aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic groups. There was a considerable decrease in the specific surface of the activated carbon after the oxidation process. Nitrogen adsorption was used to determine the structural parameters of the activated carbons. A simultaneous thermal analysis was used to study the thermal behavior of intact and oxidized activated carbons. Infrared spectroscopy was applied to analyze the surface chemistry of the adsorbents. The microbiological activity of the activated carbons was studied using Escherichia coli bacteria and Candida albicans fungi. The kinetic study of the microbiological activity allowed the estimation of the bactericidal/fungicidal action time of the activated carbons.
