Modification of synthetic zeolites by quaternary ammonium compounds and its antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis

Quaternary ammonium compound (QAC)-zeolites A, X and Y were prepared and characterized and their antibacterial activity was studied against Bacillus subtilis. The presence of QAC molecules on the zeolites has been proven by Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy. The antibacterial activity of these materials...
