골격 구조를 가진 다공성 세라믹 비드에 질산은 용액을 이용하여 Ag를 담지 하였으며, Ag 담지된 비드의 대장균, 포도상구균에 대한 항균 특성을 평가하였다. 또한, 상용화된 Ag-활성탄과 항균 특성에 대해 비교실험도 진행하였다. 질산은 용액의 농도가 높을수록, 비드의 내 외부 표면의 Ag 함량이 증가하였으며, 담지된 Ag 입자의 크기는 $0.5{sim}2.0;{mu}m$ 범위로 나타났다. Ag 담지된 비드의 항균 특성은 다음과 같이 관찰되었다 : i) 질산은 용액 농도 및 반응시간이 증가할수록 높은 활성을 나타내었다. ii) 포도상구균에 비해 대장균의 경우 더 좋은 제거율을 나타내었다.
Porous ceramic beads that had skeleton structure were impregnated with Ag from silver nitrate solution. Ag-impregnated porous ceramic beads were performed to evaluate the antibacterial properties on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, also, compared with commercial silver-activated carbon on antibacterial activity. As concentration of silver nitrate solution increased, deposited-Ag contents of outer and inner surface of beads were increased. The size of silver particles supported on porous ceramic bead were range of $0.5{sim}2.0;{mu}m$. The observed effects of the prepared Ag-impregnated beads on antibacterial activity are as follows : i) Antibacterial activity should be directly proportional to silver nitrate solution and reaction time. ii) The antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli was better than that against Staphylococcus aureus.
