RESUMO

ABSTRACT The large number of batteries that are discarded and the environmental impact that the inadequate disposition of the waste of the same produces impelled to its recycling. Both alkaline and zinc-carbon batteries have as their main components zinc and carbon mixed with other oxides, in their internal fill. In this work, the silica synthesis was carried out using the sol-gel method from the tetraethylorthosilicate precursor and the ammonium hydroxide catalyst, carbon from the recycling of disused batteries was added in 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 C % (w/w), respectively. This support was functionalized by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in a 1: 1 ratio and subsequently it was impregnated by the incipient wetness with silver nitrate, resulting in 1 and 2% Ag (w/v) adsorbed. These solids were characterized by SBET, DRX, potentiometric titration, SEM-EDX and TEM techniques. The antifungal activity of the solids was assessed against the fungi Chaetomium globosum, Aspergillus sp. and Cladosporium sp. by plaque inhibition test. The best results obtained showed a degree of inhibition close to 100% against Cladosporium sp. with samples impregnated at both Ag concentrations. In a next stage modifications will be made in the synthesis of the siliceous material to increase its antifungal effectiveness.
