Abstract:

A novel colorless salt-tolerant silver-histidine complex doped montmorillonite antibacterial agent(SHMMT) powder was synthesized by hydrothermal ion exchange reaction using silver-histidine complex ion [Ag(His)]+ as precursor. The product was characterized by inductively coupled plasma spectrometer(ICP), powder X-ray diffractometer(XRD) and thermogravimetric-differential temperature analyser(TG-DTA). The antibacterial activity of SHMMT against Pseudoalteromonas carrageenovora was examined by a modified broth dilution test and the plate counting method. The salt-tolerant and slow-releasing properties of SHMMT were tested by sea water soaking method. The results show that the amount of Ag loaded on SHMMT powder reaches 1.7 mmol/g when the molar ratio of silver to histidine equals 1: 1, which is much more than the cationic exchange capacity(cec) of Na-MMT. SHMMT powder is pile white and has high bacterial activity. After being soaked in the sea water for 45 d, the bactericidal rate of the SHMMT powder still reaches 80%.
