Estudio de la actividad antifúngica de materiales conteniendo carbón proveniente de pilas en desuso

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 functiona...
