Abstract

This research studied the membrane preparation of Cu(II) crosslinked membranes composed of cellulose and chitosan to determine its biocidal effect and efficiency to remove Escherichia coli. Water absorption, thermal degradation, and G* modulus evaluated the Cu(II) impact on the equilibrium, thermal and mechanical properties. These results showed that Cu(II) incorporation interacts with the ionic groups, inducing a structural change increasing the G* modulus by 190 %. Moreover, the cation provides thermal stability at temperatures below 200 ºC and produced surface changes to the membrane, especially to the cellulose membrane. Additionally, the cellulose-Cu(II) membranes increased 96 % their biocidal effect against E. coli. Enterobacter filtration process increased 41 % with the cation incorporation into the cellulose membrane. Therefore, this research showed the cation effect on the ionic groups in the membrane that improve the filtration properties and biocidal effect against harmful enterobacteria to humans.
