This study compares the disinfection performance of ceramic water filters impregnated with
two antibacterial compounds: silver nanoparticles and a polymer based quaternary amine …

A series of bench-scale experiments were conducted on ceramic filters with various amounts
of silver and/or copper nanoparticles fired-in during the manufacturing process. The …

In this study, the combination of capture mechanisms in ceramic water filters (doped with
hydroxyapatite and alumina) was considered for the removal of contaminants from drinking …

As an impregnated constituent in low-cost ceramic water filters, silver nanoparticles have a
demonstrated antibacterial effect. The bactericidal mechanism is believed to be based on …

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 …

Pathogen removal efficacy of ceramic water filters (CWF) impregnated with silver
nanoparticles (nAg) has been well studied, however scarce information is available about …

The technological performance and social acceptance of ceramic water filters impregnated
with silver nanoparticles for point-of-use water treatment were investigated in the laboratory …

In many developing countries such as Guatemala, access to safe drinking water is very
limited. Many sources of water that are available are contaminated with bacteria, particularly …

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 …

Silver nanoparticle (SNP)-containing ceramic filter (SNP-CF) has been widely investigated
for water disinfection but the filters usually lose their antibacterial efficacy after short time …
