Cost-effective microbial induced ZnO synthesis for building material: Antibacterial, photocatalytic and mechanical characteristics

Environmental Technology & Innovation, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 36, P. 103762 - 103762

Published: July 22, 2024

Utilization of effective and economical nanoparticles/nanocomposite materials in civil engineering is still remaining a significant challenge current research arena. In this study, microbial-induced precipitation was formulated for integration white cement mortar to enhance efficiency evaluate its potential applications antibacterial photocatalytic degradation methylene blue. Hexagonal wurtzite structure synthesized ZnO exhibited high crystallinity with contribution hydration product after 28days analysis. Morphology produced material showed less homogeneity densification morphology altered from needles-like tube the adsorbent ratio ZnO-0 2.5, presented all required chemical components EDXS The water absorption rate sample slurry ZnO-2.5 reduction 52.75 % compared baseline 12.71 commercial contact angle noted higher as 89.54°, which indicates hydrophilic character material. highest compressive strength 508.89 kgf/cm2 wet curing method, indicated gel formation calcium silicate samples. Maximum blue dye recorded 79.95 case using ZnO-2.5, another influential excellent efficiency. addition, prepared has shown almost complete bactericidal under simulated sunlight. Compared mortar, biological can save NT$149,531 per cubic meter at industrial scale. Therefore, results indicate that zinc incorporated hydrothermal preparation improves surface properties reduces cost study.

Antimicrobial Properties of Ion-Modified Zeolite Composites: A Study on Biofilm Inhibition and Bacterial Cell Viability

E3S Web of Conferences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 588, P. 02003 - 02003

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

This work investigates the antibacterial efficacy of zeolite composites by using combinations zinc, manganese, and magnesium ions at concentrations 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%. Our assessment effectiveness was conducted biofilm inhibition, insitu bacterial colonization, ion-release tests. The results indicated that liberation zinc increased from 1.5 parts per million (ppm) a concentration 1% to 6.0 ppm Furthermore, manganese varied between 2.0 6.7 ppm, whereas ranged 1.8 5.5 ppm. as shown OD570 values, decreased dramatically 0.85 0.40 Bacterial viability tests revealed ion concentration, proportion damaged cells rose 60%, while viable 70% 40%. these indicate higher amplifies activity composites, making them very efficient in inhibiting biofilms deactivating microorganisms. Conclusions research suggest ion-modified might be advantageous for antimicrobial applications various environments prone microbial contamination.
