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 …

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 …

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 …

The retention and transport of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) through a ceramic porous
medium used for point-of-use drinking water purification is investigated. Two general types …

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 …

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 …

Cylindrical colloidal-silver-impregnated ceramic filters for household (point-of-use) water
treatment were manufactured and tested for performance in the laboratory with respect to …

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

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 …
