Abstracts

We investigated the magnetic behavior of charcoal composite with incorporated magnetite and silver ions. The magnetization curve measured at 282 K showed saturation magnetization of 8 emu/g. By benefiting from a mechanical process, the magnetic activated carbon, supporting silver ions (MCAG), acts as a magnetic filter uptaking the bacteria. This idea was confirmed by the DGGE analysis in which the bacterial DNA was detectable in the sediment after the treatment.
