Water purification via traditional pottery impregnated with silver nanoparticles

Fabio Vengoechea

Avi-Mex Laboratory

PhD in Chemistry with emphasis on biomaterials. Synthesis of aluminum and zinc catalysts for biodegradable and bioabsorbable polymers and nanomaterials production and wide experience in microstructural characterization of biopolymers by methods such as GPC and homonuclear decoupling NMR.  Postdoctoral fellow in synthesis of palladium catalysts for the production of molecules with broad structural diversity.  Currently: Project leader in nano-technological development for new biological (influenza virus) or pharmaceutical products (antibiotics based on fosfomycin, enrofloxacin and norfloxacin). Responsible for planning (networking with researchers from Avimex and Universities), implementation, synthesis and interpretation of results for the new nanotech-products.

Abstract

The quality of drinking water was investigated in order to ensure provision for the protection of public health ceramic filters, which are impregnated with Nanoparticles (NPs) Silver (Ag). A number of parameters such as pH,... [ view full abstract ]
