Additional information
This interdisciplinary paper is relevant to environmental, zeolite and microbiology disciplines. The antibacterial properties of Cu- and Ag-loaded zeolites prepared from fly ash is studied here for the first time. The results indicate that Cu- and Ag- fly ash zeolites have a potential for utilisation as antimicrobial materials, thus expanding the application areas of fly ash zeolites previously reported. Considering that fly ash is a waste material and the associated disposal issues, this paper is an important development offering a recycling solution for fly ash wastes, which will be of both academic and industrial interest.
