Effect of Physico-Chemical Modification of Clinoptilolite Composites on Their Antimicrobial Activity

Microparticles based on natural Transcarpathian clinoptilolite (CL), its H- and Na-forms are synthesized by physicochemical modifications, in particular, heat treatment and doping with metal activators (Ag and Cu). Doping of CL samples with metal ions was carried out in two different ways: the first was to use the solid-phase extraction method under dynamic conditions followed by mechanochemical treatment, and the second was to mechanochemically treat the CL samples with Ag and Cu compounds.

MODELING AND PROTOTYPING OF AN ACOUSTOFLUIDIC SYSTEM FOR MICROPARTICLE SEPARATION

This article presents the results of numerical modeling and experimental prototyping of an acoustofluidic microchannel structure for the separation of microparticles suspended in a liquid medium. A two-dimensional model was developed to analyze the influence of geometric and physical parameters on the formation of the acoustic field within the microchannel and the efficiency of particle separation.
