PG - 125516 LID - S0304-3894(21)00479-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125516 [doi] AB - The present study examines the efficiency of modified bone char (BC) with C-MgO nanoparticles (MBC-C-MgO) as media in a cartridge filter as an antibacterial agent to produce a new filter. The filters were operated in a continuous mode using a pre-static pump. MBC-C-MgO were produced and modified with sucrose through the co-precipitation method. The microbial quality of effluent water samples was compared with commercial refrigerator cartridge filters using a heterotrophic plate count (HPC) test and SEM analysis. The results showed that the effluent water from the filter with MBC-C-MgO media had the lowest HPC (177 CFU/mL) compared to bioceramic (271 CFU/mL) and carbon (500 CFU/mL) under similar experimental conditions after 4 months of operation. Maximum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) tests were determined using the broth dilution method on Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and Enterococcus faecalis (ACC 29212). The MIC results for E. faecalis and E. coli were 156.25 and 312.5 microg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the MBC results for E. faecalis and E. coli were 312.5 and 625 microg/mL. The experimental results obviously showed the antibacterial properties of C-MgO nanoparticles and the MBC-C-MgO. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
