Abstract
Copper nanoparticles (by reduction “in situ” of a copper ammonium complex ion) and tetracycline-based glauconite composites have been synthesized. Physico-chemical properties of both composites have been investigated. Solid immobilization of the tetracycline ions on the glauconite surface (chemisorption) is observed. Sorption parameters such as the sorbtion capacity, recovery rate, and sorbtion time of tetracycline glauconite were evaluated. Copper nanoparticles are intercalated in glauconite-matrix (3–7 nm) and adsorbed by surface of mineral (30–50 nm). Excellent antibacterial activity of the composites were observed on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (mortality rate is ~100% after 3–6 h).
