Antimicrobial properties of promising Zn-Fe based layered double hydroxides for the disinfection of real dairy wastewater effluents.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial resistance to conventional antibiotics is a serious challenge that requires novel antibacterial agents. Moreover, wastewater from dairy farms might contain countless number of pathogens, organic contaminants and heavy metals that consider a threat to the terrestrial and aquatic environment. Therefore, the development of cost-effective, highly operation-convenient, recyclable multifunctional antimicrobial agents became an urgent necessity. Layered double hydroxides (LDH) have shown promising results as antibacterial agents. However, more work is required to further investigate and improve the antimicrobial performance of LDH structures against pathogens. In this study three Zn-Fe based LDH were investigated for real dairy wastewater disinfection. The three LDH samples were cobalt
