Environment-friendly silver-loaded antibacterial agent based on plant waste powder and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of inorganic nano material preparation, in particular to an antibacterial agent and a preparation method thereof, and especially relates to an environment-friendly silver-loaded antibacterial agent based on plant waste powder and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the improvement of health and safety awareness and demand of people, materials with antibacterial function are receiving more and more attention. Imparting antimicrobial properties to the material may improve its durability and extend its useful life to some extent. In addition, the high-efficiency antibacterial performance can also meet the functional requirements of health and harmlessness, and the application field of the material is widened. Therefore, the development of antibacterial agents is an emerging industry. The antibacterial agents are various in variety and can be divided into two categories, namely inorganic antibacterial agents and organic antibacterial agents according to different chemical components. Although the organic antibacterial agent has a remarkable antibacterial effect in a short time, it has disadvantages of poor durability, high toxicity, easy volatilization and easy decomposition, and the like, so that it is limited in material processing. In contrast, inorganic antibacterial agents have outstanding long-term action and good heat resistance, and can be widely used for preparing polymer composite materials with antibacterial functions.
The nano silver antibacterial agent is a representative of inorganic antibacterial agents, has the advantages of low toxicity, high efficiency, broad spectrum, durability, no drug resistance and the like, and has advantages in the market and the antibacterial field. However, the nano silver antibacterial agent has high surface energy and is easily aggregated to form large-size particles, thereby reducing the dispersibility and antibacterial efficiency. In addition, the nano silver antibacterial agent is easy to dissolve silver ions, and the release of the nano silver antibacterial agent can shorten the antibacterial effective period. In addition, the use of a large amount of nano-silver antibacterial agent increases the cost and causes the enrichment of silver in the ecological environment. In order to solve the above problems, studies have been made to anchor nano-silver uniformly on a certain substrate, thereby producing a silver-loaded antibacterial agent with better efficiency. For example, patent document CN105532731B discloses a method for preparing a slow-release zirconium phosphonate silver-loaded antibacterial agent, which specifically comprises using zirconium phosphonate as a substrate, performing radiation crosslinking modification on the zirconium phosphonate with chitosan, and then performing vortex loading on silver ions to obtain a target antibacterial agent, but the method is complex in process, time-consuming, and limited in scale. Patent document CN106172386A discloses a method for preparing silver-loaded shell powder antibacterial agent, which specifically comprises mixing natural shell powder with sodium citrate solution and silver salt solution, and reducing with reducing agent sodium borohydride solution to obtain silver-loaded shell powder. Although the method takes natural and easily-obtained and environment-friendly animal shells as a substrate, a reducing agent is additionally used, and the preparation of the shell powder needs anaerobic calcination and has a complex process. Patent document CN111202091A discloses a method for preparing silver-loaded mesoporous silica antibacterial material, which specifically comprises preparing mesoporous silica by using tannic acid as a non-surfactant template, and reducing silver ions to generate nano silver. Although the method has mild conditions and does not use toxic reagents, the method relates to the preparation of mesoporous silica substrate and is complex. Patent document CN107312315B discloses a method for preparing a lignin/silver composite antibacterial agent, in which silver is loaded on lignin, and the defects of poor stability, short duration of efficacy and high cost of silver-based antibacterial agents are overcome, but lignin needs to be separated and extracted from plants or papermaking waste liquid, and a concentrated acid, a concentrated alkali or an organic solvent is needed in the process, so that the risk of environmental pollution is increased, and the method needs to perform carboxylation modification on lignin, and involves a large amount of processes for adjusting the pH value, so that the process is complicated. Patent document CN109997871A discloses a one-step method of nano silver loaded hydrothermal carbon spheres and a preparation method thereof, which comprises the steps of removing impurities from the collected biomass full components, washing and drying, preparing into fine particles under the action of mechanical external force of a pulverizer and a ball mill, dissolving the biomass full components in a sodium hydroxide/urea system at low temperature, dripping a prepared silver ammonia solution after dissolving, uniformly mixing, pouring the uniformly mixed solution into a high-temperature high-pressure reaction kettle together for hydrothermal reaction, and obtaining the nano silver loaded hydrothermal carbon spheres through centrifugation, washing, ultrasound, centrifugation and freeze drying after complete reaction. Although the method solves the problems of easy agglomeration and instability of nano-silver, the biomass waste and the reducing groups contained in the biomass waste are fully utilized, the related process is complex, sodium hydroxide/urea is required to be used for dissolving the biomass, the operations such as centrifugation, washing, ultrasound and the like are required, the reaction is required to be carried out at high temperature and high pressure, and the reaction condition requires that the temperature is higher than 210 ℃.
