Previous issue date: 2013-04-19 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / Brazil has vast amounts of hydric resources, whose quality has been deteriorating due to pollutant dumping. Household waste disposal is one of the main sources of water pollution, stimulating bacteria proliferation and introducing microorganisms, including those from fecal matter. Conventional water disinfection methods are a solution, but on the downside, they lead to the formation byproducts hazardous to human health. In this study, aiming to develop bactericidal filters for the disinfection of drinking water; silver nanoparticles were deposited on alumina foams through three routes: sputtering DC, dip coating and in situ chemical reduction of silver nitrate. The depositions were characterized through X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and EDS element mapping. The influence of the depositions on permeability and mechanical properties of the ceramic foams was assessed and, in sequence, a preliminary antibacterial efficiency analysis was carried out. Characterization results indicate that the chemical reduction routes were efficient in depositing homogeneously distributed silver particles and that the concentration of the metallic precursor salt affects size and morphology of the particles. The antibacterial efficiency analysis indicates that the chemical reduction filters have potential for water disinfection / O Brasil apresenta vastos recursos h?dricos cuja qualidade tem deteriorado como consequ?ncia do despejo de poluentes. A descarga de res?duos domiciliares ? uma das principais fontes de polui??o dos mananciais, estimulando a prolifera??o de bact?rias e inserindo outros microrganismos, incluindo aqueles oriundos de mat?ria fecal. O tratamento ou purifica??o da ?gua residencial se apresenta como solu??o, entretanto os m?todos tradicionais de desinfec??o da ?gua t?m sido contestados por conduzirem ? forma??o de subst?ncias prejudiciais ? sa?de humana. No presente estudo, com o intuito de desenvolver filtros com a??o bactericida para desinfec??o de ?gua para consumo humano, nanopart?culas de prata foram depositadas em s?lidos celulares cer?micos de alumina atrav?s de tr?s rotas distintas: sputtering DC, dip coating e redu??o qu?mica in loco de nitrato de prata. As deposi??es foram caracterizadas por difra??o de raios-X (DRX), microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV) e mapeamento por espectrometria por dispers?o de energia de raios-X (EDS). A influ?ncia da deposi??o sobre as propriedades mec?nicas e de permeabilidade do s?lido celular cer?mico foi avaliada, sendo posteriormente executada uma an?lise preliminar de efici?ncia antibacteriana. Os resultados da caracteriza??o indicam que as rotas via redu??o qu?mica in loco de nitrato de prata foram eficientes na deposi??o de part?culas homogeneamente distribu?das e que a concentra??o do precursor met?lico afeta o tamanho e a morfologia das part?culas. A an?lise de efici?ncia antibacteriana indica que os filtros confeccionados por redu??o qu?mica apresentam potencial para a desinfec??o de ?gua para consumo humano
