Preparation of silver nanoparticle/polyamide (nylon 6) composite by chemical reduction method for water disinfection

The nano silver particles has been attractive the large number of researchers. These properties are due to the very high volume ratio of these particles. Although there are different methods have been offered for the synthesis of nano particles of silver but the chemical recovery method because of the simplicity and ability to control and particle's size is the most common methods to product nano particles. In this research the effect of silver disinfection in water has been investigated. The silver particles are produced with using silver nitrate and sodium citrate and then the polyamide is coated on the polymer and used as absorbent filter. Morphology was determined by absorbing the surface and the shape and size of nano particles with an electron microscope and also it the same about the present of silver in the polymer after coating with an X-ray diffraction device (EDAX). The nutrient agar is used for investigate of the effect of nano silver disinfection in water pollution (Escherichia coli) from the general culture medium and also the effects of changing of power hydrogen (pH) temperatures and duration of contact required for disinfection water studied.
