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 …

In this paper, we present a systematic evaluation of the effects of local clays and the
manufacturing process on the performance of ceramic water filters (CWFs) impregnated with …

A new method of silver application to a porous ceramic water filter used for point‐of‐use
water treatment is developed. We evaluated filter performance for filters manufactured by the …

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 …

Membrane clogging and biofilm formation are the most serious problems during water
filtration. Silver nanoparticle (Ag nano) coatings on filtration membranes can prevent …

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

Nanocomposite filters were developed by sorption of silver (Ag) nanoparticles into a matrix
of household filters consisting of porous mineral tuff and their subsequent chemical …

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

Performance of a new method for the deposition of metallic silver and metallic copper in
ceramic water filters was investigated. Ceramic water filters were manufactured at two …

This work describes a novel method to embed silver in ceramic porous media in the form of
metallic silver nanopatches. This method has been applied to develop a new POU …
