Biofouling Control in Water systems using Nanoparticles

摘要: Biofilm is a deposit of microorganisms on a surface embedded in a matrix of protective and adhesive compounds and biofouling is commonly used to describe the negative effect of the biofilm on the performance of water systems. Silver nano-particle is one of the most fast growing nano-materials. They exhibit antibacterial properties via bacterial inactivation and growth inhibition. New highly effective preparation methods have opened a window for new and wider applications including the method presented in this work.
