The development of silver and antibiotic monamorillonite nanocomposites and the investigation of usability in solid waste storage fields

The usage areas of nano materials are increasing day by day. The clay floors used in the production of specific engineering materials are also used as impermeable building elements in solid waste storage areas and dams. Solid waste landfills are engineering structures that have important functions in protecting environmental health, rather than just the landfill of garbage. Especially in the prevention of the pollution of drinking water, the task of these building sites is great. One of the best methods in the production of polymer / clay nanoparticles is the intercalation (co) polymerization of various functional monomers. In this study, the engineering and medical properties of silver montmorillonite nanocomposite material, which is limited in the literature, have been investigated. It has been shown that the nature of the kiln used in this study has a structure that bacteria do not like. Bentonite type clay was added with 0.1%, 1%, 10% silver salt and nanocomposite material was produced. The ciprofloxacin active substance, known as antibacterial property with clay, was added at the same ratio to examine both antibacterial properties and control samples. Experimental results show that XPS, SEM and EDS results show that 0.1%, 1% and 10% of clay are treated with silver and ciprofloxacin and nanocomposite is produced. As a result of the microbial tests performed, antibacterial properties were increased due to the concentration of silver and ciprofloxacin added killer. In antibacterial tests, surface coating with samples was also carried out in order to prototype wastewater storage pools in solid waste storage areas. It has been shown that the samples obtained from the test results can be used as antibacterial surface coating material. The use of silver-added clay in solid waste storage areas is a new issue. The use of silver-doped nanocilin in geosynthetic membranes, geosynthetic clay membranes or in the surface coating of wastewater storage areas has resulted in the elimination of bacterial contamination and reclamation of collected wastewaters and the remediation and deleterious effects of contaminated waters.
