Abstract

The electroplating of the Ag ions from aqueous solution on activated porous carbons was investigated over a wide range of plating time. The adsorption capacities of Ag metallic carbons were associated with their internal porosity and were related to physical properties such as surface area and pore size distribution. And, surface morphologies and quantitative analysis for the metal supported carbons are investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy disperse X-ray (EDX) measurements to explain the changes in adsorption properties. It is considered that the pH is an very important factor at the reason of water pollutant with increasing acidity in industrial field. The results of ICP-AES analysis showed that the residual concentration of Ag ions decreased with an increasing electroplating time. The metallic Ag-activated porous carbons electroplated showed microbicidal effects and strong antibacterial activity against six kinds of strains that were used. Finally, we confirmed that the presence of the electrolytic plated Ag-activated porous carbons is a determining factor in the HCl removal by chemical reaction, clarifying the surface chemical behavior.
