Nowadays, water-borne diseases including hepatitis remain the critical health challenge due to the inadequate supply of potable and safe water for human activities. The major cause is that the pathogenic microorganisms causing diseases have developed resistance against common techniques used by sewage water treatment plants for water disinfection. Therefore, there is a need to improve these conventional water treatment techniques by taking into consideration the application of nanotechnology for wastewater purification. The main aim of this paper is to provide a review on the synthesis of biopolymer-inorganic nanoparticle composites (BINCs), their used as antimicrobial compounds for water disinfection, as well as to elaborate on their antimicrobial mechanism of action. The microbial properties affecting the activity of antimicrobial compounds are also evaluated.
如今，由于人类活动的饮用水供应不足，包括肝炎在内的水传播疾病仍然是严峻的健康挑战。主要原因是导致疾病的致病微生物对污水处理厂用于水消毒的常规技术产生了耐药性。因此，有必要改进这些传统的水处理技术，同时考虑将纳米技术应用于废水净化。本文的主要目的是综述生物聚合物-无机纳米颗粒复合材料（BINCs）的合成及其作为水消毒剂的抗菌化合物的用途，并详细阐述其抗菌作用机制。还评估了影响抗菌化合物活性的微生物特性。
