Abstract
The efficacy of a natural zeolite stilhite with particle size 150-240 pm on which metallic silver was iromobili/ed, by a chemical process, for water disinfection was studied. Immobilized metullic silver on the molecular srve was found to be effective in the removal/inactivation of faecal coliforms within 30 seconds contact time. This filter material may be useful for the disinfaction of potable water in water filtration units.
