Activated carbon from termite feces impregnated with silver: Preparation and evaluation of antimicrobial activity and ecotoxicity

Activated carbon from termite feces impregnated with silver: Preparation and evaluation of antimicrobial activity and ecotoxicity

Silver has a potent antimicrobial action, but its use is still restricted due to toxicity and aggregation problems. Impregnation with active carbon (AC) has been suggested as an alternative to solve this problem. In this study, termite feces were used to prepare composites containing silver nanopart...
