Abstract

Activated carbons (ACs) are widely used in adsorption for the removal of gaseous and aqueous pollutants[1,2]. The microbicidal property of ACs is also very important, in order to decrease the risk of water and air contamination with microorganisms. For this purpose, ACs have impregnated with silver or with metallic oxides[2]. However, in the case of Ag supported ACs prepared by impregnation, there are some problem, such as, heat-treatment, highly decrease in specific surface area and pore volume by deposited Ag, and rapidly elution of Ag at the initial stage of usage[3].
