THE STUDY BACTERICIDAL ACTIVITY OF ACTIVATED CARBON MODIFIED BY DYES
The possibility of using a cationic dye as a modifier was analyzed for creating an antiseptic material based on active carbon. It is noted that from the groups of dyes examined, the highest bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli culture microorganisms is exhibited by the sorbent impregnated with triphenylmethane series dye, Brilliant Green. The processes of disinfecting water by the chosen material were studied both under static and dynamic conditions, The reduction in the number of detected bacteria cells by 90-95 % under conditions of an increased content of microorganisms was revealed.
