چکیده
The microfiltration ۰.۲ µm Cellulose Acetate (CA) membrane was modified by embedding antibacterial silver nano-particles in the membrane pores. This novel technique was developed to enhance the capability of the microfiltration membrane for removing microorganism including bacteria. The prepared membrane was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), water contact angle measurement and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Membrane performance was elucidated by flux and rejection measurements using water samples from the pond of a public recreational park in Tehran. For rejection capability of the membrane, the availability of filament and c-shaped species of the phyla Actinobacteria and Spirochetas in the permeate side of the membrane was estimated. Contrary to virgin membrane, the modified membrane was able to remove ۱۰۰% of Actinobacteria and Spirochetasspecies from the infected water. Moreover, the wettability of the modified membrane was remarkably changed leading to higher water flux. A potential application of the modified Ag-CA membrane is “sterile filtration” of temperature sensitive fluids.کلیدواژه ها

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.
کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
