Abstract

The ceramic balls impregnated with $20{\sim}40nm$ sized Ag colloid were examined for heavy metals absorption and antibacterial activities in the drinking water. The preparation conditions of ceramic ball that the porosity was excellent were as follows: starting material: 85 wt% $Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$, binder: 5 wt% PVA and 15 wt% ${\alpha}-Ca_3(PO_4)_2$, heating temperature: $1000^{\circ}C$, duration: 3 hrs. The ceramic balls obtained under these conditions showed specific surface area of $110m^2/g$, pore size of $120{\mu}m$ and porosity of 80%. Also, as the results of a performance test on a rate of adsorbing and removing heavy metals in the drinking water by using the.AAS, heavy metals such as Zn, Mn, Fe and Cu were removed to the extent that their content became 0.03mg/l or lower after 1 day and they showed an excellent bactericidal activity that all coliforms were killed after 3 hrs.

[ $20{\sim}40nm$ ] 크기의 Ag 콜로이드가 첨가된 세라믹 볼을 이용하여 음용수중의 중금속 흡착 및 항균성에 대한 특성을 평가하였다. 다공성이 우수한 세라믹 볼을 제조하기 위한 조건은 다음과 같다. 즉, 출발원료: 85wt%의 $Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2$, 바인더: 5wt%의 PVA 및 15wt%의 $\alpha-Ca_3(PO_4)_2$, 열처리온도: $1000^{\circ}C$, 반응시간: 3시간 이었다. 이와 같은 조건에서 얻어진 세라믹 볼은 비표면적이 $110m^2/g$ 이었으며, $120{\mu}m$의 기공크기와 80%의 기공율을 나타내었다. 그리고 AAS를 이용하여 음용수중의 중금속 흡착 제거율에 대한 성능시험을 행한 결과, Zn, Mn, Cu, Fe와 같은 중금속이 담지 1일 후 0.03mg/l 이하로 제거 되었으며, 침적시간 3시간 후에는 대장균이 모두 멸균되는 우수한 살균력을 나타내었다.
