This research examined how variations in synthesis methods of silver nanoparticles affect
both the release of silver from ceramic water filters (CWFs) and disinfection efficacy. The …

BACKGROUND Point‐of‐use filtration units often incorporate silver as a disinfection aid.
However, system performance and robustness may be increased by considering co …

Application of silver nanoparticles (nAg) or silver nitrate (AgNO3) has been shown to
improve the microbiological efficacy of ceramic water filters used for household water …

Locally produced ceramic water filters (CWF) are an effective technology to treat pathogen-
contaminated drinking water at the household level. CWF manufacturers apply silver to …

The synergistic potential of silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles for water disinfection was
investigated herein. By causing cell death through membrane interactions, oxidative killing …

Applying silver nanoparticles (nAg) or silver nitrate (AgNO 3) to ceramic water filters
improves microbiological efficacy, reduces biofilm formation, and protects stored water from …

Water safety is one of the major environmental issues. Drawbacks of the conventional
disinfection methods necessitate alternative, novel, low-cost, safe and highly efficient …

An aminosilane-based surface functionalization strategy was adopted to immobilize silver
nanoparticles (AgNPs) on to silica materials to minimize leaching of silver into the aqueous …

In this study, we report on field testing of ceramic water filters (CWFs) fabricated using a new
method of silver application (using silver nitrate as a raw material) compared to …

Ceramic water filters (CWFs) are decentralized water treatment technologies commonly
used in resource-restricted geographies. Inclusion of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) assists …
