Abstract:

Antibacterial sliver/ferroferric oxide/reduced graphene oxide(Ag/Fe3O4/rGO) nanocomposite with magnetic separation performance was prepared by in situ reduction method with FeCl2·4H2O and AgNO3, using NaBH4 as reducing agent and graphene oxide(GO) as the carrier. The nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction(XRPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The results showed that the Fe3O4 and Ag nanoparticles were uniformly distributed on the rGO sheets. Hysteresis loop test results indicated excellent magnetism of the nanocomposite, the saturation susceptibility(Ms) was 40.5 A·m2·kg-1. Adsorption and settling of magnetic separation in the bacteria liquid could be completed within 10 min by adding Ag/Fe3O4/rGO in magnetic field. Selecting Escherichia coli(E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) as the experimental strains, the antibacterial properties of the composite was evaluated by the agar diffusion method, minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC). Ag/Fe3O4/rGO showed strong antibacterial activities against E.coli and S.aureu. The antibacterial circle diameter was 18 mm and 13 mm, the MIC was 50 mg/L and 80 mg/L, and the MBC was 30 mg/L and 50 mg/L respectively.
