Abstract
This paper centers on the preparation and characterization of both a clay support and a faujasite zeolite membrane. Additionally, the study explores the development of bacterial media to assess the performance of these prepared membranes. The faujasite zeolite membrane was created using the hydrothermal method, involving the deposition of a faujasite layer to fine-tune the pore sizes of the clay support. The clay supports were crafted from clay which was sieved to particle size Φ ≤ 63 μm, and compacted with 3.0 wt.% activated carbon, then sintered at 1,000 °C. Distilled water fluxes revealed a decrease from 1,500 L m-2 h-1 to a minimum of 412 L m-2 h-1 after 180 min of filtration. Both membranes were characterized by XRF, XRD, FTIR, adsorption-desorption of nitrogen (N2), and SEM-EDS. PCR technique was used for the identification of the isolated Arthrobacter sp., and the retention of the bacteria on the clay support and the faujasite zeolite membrane were found to be 96 and 99%, respectively. The results showed that the faujasite zeolite membrane passed the clay support due to a narrow pore size of the faujasite zeolite membrane of 2.28 nm compared to 3.55 nm for the clay supports.

Abstract
Silver has long been recognized for its potent antimicrobial properties, but achieving a slow and longer-term delivery of silver ions presents significant challenges. Previous efforts to control silver ion dosages have struggled to sustain release for extended periods in biomimetic environments, especially in the presence of complex proteins. This challenge is underscored by the absence of technology for sustaining antimicrobial activity, especially in the context of orthopedic implants where long-term efficacy, extending beyond 7 days, is essential. In this study, the tunable, slow, and longer-term release of silver ions from the two-dimensional (2D) nanocapillaries of graphene oxide (GO) laminates incorporated with silver ions (Ag-GO) for antimicrobial applications are successfully demonstrated. To closely mimic a physiologically relevant serum-based environment, a novel in vitro study model using 100% fetal bovine serum (FBS) is introduced as the test medium for microbiology, biocompatibility, and bioactivity studies. To emulate fluid circulation in a physiological environment, the in vitro studies are challenged with serum exchange protocols on different days. The findings show that the Ag-GO coating can sustainably release silver ions at a minimum dosage of 10 µg cm-2 day-1, providing an effective and sustained antimicrobial barrier for over ten days.

Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of silver and zinc exchanged cations in Y-zeolite (Ag/CBV-600, Zn/CBV-600) is evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus (gram (+)) and Escherichia coli (gram (-)) bacteria along with their adsorption capacity for viruses: brome mosaic virus (BMV), cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV), and the bacteriophage MS2. The physicochemical properties of synthesized nanomaterials are characterized by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). According to the obtained results, the main species associated with the exchanged ions are Ag+ and Zn2+ cations with the concentration of around 1 atomic %. The incorporation of cations does not modify the Y-zeolite framework. The Ag/CBV-600 and Zn/CBV-600 materials show an inactivation of 90% for both gram (+) and gram (-) bacteria at 16 h at a relatively low concentration of nanomaterial (0.5 mg/mL). Moreover, the samples present good adsorption capacity for BMV, CCMV, and MS2 viruses showing adsorption higher than 40% after 2 h of interaction with the viruses. These prominent results allow the further usage of nanomaterials as an effective remedy to inhibit and reduce the spread of viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 or other gram (+) or gram (-) bacteria.

Abstract
Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic compounds which have recently drawn great attention due to their high biological, chemical and physical stability and lipid/water repelling properties. The present work aims to provide for the first time insights on the thermal behaviour of Ag-exchanged Y zeolite loaded with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, C8HF15O2) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS, C8HF17O3S) emphasizing the close link between crystal structure and desorption/dehydration processes. Elemental and isotopic abundance of carbon analysis, thermal analysis, and in situ high-temperature synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction were used to evaluate critically if the thermal regeneration affects the initial zeolites structural features. Rietveld refinements revealed that PFAS sites are emptied in the 550-650 °C temperature range, when the thermal degradation of PFOA and PFOS are reached. The crystallinity of the samples is not affected by the adsorption/desorption processes. Upon heating, the removal of both PFAS and coadsorbed water molecules induced a cation migration of the silver ions and changes of initial geometry of the framework. The dimensions of the channels remain comparable to those of the pristine materials thus suggesting the potential re-use of the samples in other adsorption PFAS cycles. Additionally, once regenerated and reloaded Ag-exchanged Y can re-adsorb PFAS in amounts comparable to that adsorbed in the first cycle with clear benefits on the costs of the whole water treatment process.

Synthesis of FAU-Type Zeolite Membranes with Antimicrobial Activity. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25153414.

Abstract
In this study, a layer of a pure and dense phase of FAU-type zeolite was synthesized directly on the surface of α-Al2O3 plane macroporous support. Before hydrothermal synthesis, a step of cleaning of the support by an anionic detergent was performed, a roughness surface is created, allowing the anchoring of the zeolite nuclei and then their growth, favoring in this sense the formation of a homogeneous zeolite layer. The obtained membranes were fully characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), nitrogen sorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and mercury porosimetry. After 24 h of thermal treatment at 75 °C, a homogeneous zeolite layer composed of bipyramidal crystals of FAU-type zeolite is obtained with a thickness of about 2.5 µm. No obvious defects or cracks can be observed. It was found that the increase in heating temperature could lead to the appearance of an impurity phase, GIS-type zeolite. Then the ideal zeolite membrane was exchanged with Ag+ or Zn2+ cations to studies their antimicrobial properties. Zeolites membranes exchanged with Ag+ showed an agar-diffusive bactericidal activity against gram negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. Zn2+ exchanged zeolite membrane presented a bacteriostatic activity that is less diffusive in agar. As expected, non-exchanged zeolite membrane (in its Na+ form) have no effect on bacterial activity. This process is particularly interesting for the synthesis of a good quality FAU-type zeolite membranes with antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
Sixteenth-century Arrases from the Krakow Royal Castle constitute a Polish national cultural heritage; hence, they should be under special protection. The storage of historic objects at strict temperature and humidity conditions is fundamental for their protection against microorganisms. However, sometimes active preservation must be applied to disinfect bio-contaminated objects. In this study, 39 strains of microorganisms, both fungi and bacteria, isolated from Arrases deposited in the Wawel warehouse were isolated and then identified using molecular tools. Fungal ability to colonize and degrade silk and wool laboratory samples was studied. Selected microbial strains were compared concerning their ability to affect silk fibroin using size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). The effectiveness of low-temperature helium-generated plasma in disinfecting the model wool and silk samples inoculated with selected strains was tested. The results showed that plasma, despite its high biocidal activity in the case of paper, was not effective on porous textile materials. The alternative protection mechanism, involving active packaging in the form of textiles impregnated with silver-exchanged zeolites, could be used to separate layers of rolled tapestries in the warehouse. Nevertheless, optimal temperature and humidity conditions should be strictly maintained and controlled.

Abstract
Antimicrobial materials are widely used for inhibition of microorganisms in the environment. It has been established that bacterial growth can be restrained by silver nanoparticles. Combining these with other antimicrobial agents, such as ZnO, may increase the antimicrobial activity and the use of carrier substrate makes the material easier to handle. In the paper, we present an antimicrobial nanocomposite based on silver nanoparticles nucleated in general silicate nanostructure ZnO·mSiO2. First, we prepared the silicate fine net nanostructure ZnO·mSiO2 with zinc content up to 30 wt% by precipitation of sodium water glass in zinc acetate solution. Silver nanoparticles were then formed within the material by photoreduction of AgNO3 on photoactive ZnO. This resulted into an Ag-ZnO·mSiO2 composite with silica gel-like morphology and the specific surface area of 250 m2/g. The composite, alongside with pure AgNO3 and clear ZnO·mSiO2, were successfully tested for antimicrobial activity on both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial strains and yeast Candida albicans. With respect to the silver content, the minimal inhibition concentration of Ag-ZnO·mSiO2 was worse than AgNO3 only for gram-negative strains. Moreover, we found a positive synergistic antimicrobial effect between Ag and Zn agents. These properties create an efficient and easily applicable antimicrobial material in the form of powder.
