Preparation of Dodecyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Bromide-Doped Cubic CaCO3 with Antibacterial Properties

详细

CaCl₂ encapsulated was placed in the hydrothermal reactor of an aqueous solution of Na₂CO₃ and dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium bromide for synthesis of two samples of calcium carbonate by an improved hydrothermal method and one-pot method. Their crystal structure, morphology, chemical composition, and thermal stability of the synthesized samples of calcium carbonate were investigated by XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDS and TGDSC. The sterilization activity of the as-prepared samples was evaluated by killing of Sarcina lutea bacteria. The results indicated that the regular cube capsule-assisted calcium carbonate prepared by hydrothermal process was doped with dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium bromide. Under the same condition, the spindle-shaped calcium carbonate synthesized the one-pot method was not doped with dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium bromide. Among the samples of calcium carbonate, capsule-assisted calcium carbonate had shown better antibacterial effect for Sarcina lutea: in 48 h after its inhibition a zone diameter was 12.3 mm.
