PPY-AG NANOCOMPOSITE IMPREGNATED ACTIVATED CARBON MEMBRANE USEFUL FOR THE REMOVEL OF E. COLI FROM WATER

摘要

The present invention provides conducting polypyrrole polymerized on activated charcoal membrane encapsulated with nano silver particle useful for the removal of E.coli from water. Synthesis of polypyrrole was done in the presence of sodium tosylate ions using ferric chloride as oxidant and encapsulated on activated charcoal matrix in which silver nano particles were trapped as one of the constituent.
