Preparation and antimicrobial ability of natural proous antibacterial materials

Abstract

The liquid ion exchange method, solid salt melt method and dry-wet circulation method were used to prepare natural porous antimicrobial materials with natural minerals, such as zeolite, spilite, palygorskite and montmorillonite, respectively. Atomic absorption spectrum and X-ray diffraction analysis were carried out to investigate the effects of Ag⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ on antimicrobial abilities of natural porous minerals, and the effect of preparation method on ion exchange capacity of antimicrobial material, respectively. The results show that for the ion exchange capacity, clay mineral is higher than fibrous mineral, i. e. both zeolite and montmorillonite are higher; the antimicrobial ability of material with Ag⁺ is the best; the exchange capacities of materials with Cu²⁺ or Zn²⁺ are all higher, but the antimicrobial ability of Cu²⁺ is better than that of Zn²⁺.
