Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the attachment amount and the surface properties, such as shape and attachment aspect of silver nanoparticles on the surface of salt and sucrose. In addition, we investigated the antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles by measuring total colony counts and total coliforms in sewage according to the time and the amount of silver nanoparticles. As a result, it is found that silver nanoparticles are attached on the surface of salt and sucrose from the SEM images and there is no microorganisms on the surface of salt and sucrose. Silver nanoparticles on salt were rod shape but silver nanoparticles on sucrose were round shape. Also, the content of silver was 0.735 mg/g on salt and 0.885 mg/g on sucrose. In all experiments, total colony counts and total coliforms sharply declined initially, and it decreased gradually as change the time. When injection amount of nano silver sucrose and salt increased, the width of decline was greater. The amount of total colony counts and total coliforms of nano silver salt was much lower and the disinfection efficiency was higher comparing with nano silver sucrose. That means the case of nano silver salt is much better at the antimicrobial activity.
