ABSTRACT

The ceramic balls impregnated with 20~40 nm 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% Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, binder: 5 wt% PVA and 15 wt% a-Ca3(PO4)2, heating temperature: 1000oC, duration: 3 hrs. The ceramic balls obtained under these conditions showed specific surface area of 110 m2/g, pore size of 120 mm 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 0.03 mg/l or lower after 1 day and they showed an excellent bactericidal activity that all coliforms were killed after 3 hrs.
