A Study on Bacteria Adsorption Technology for Development of Bacteria Based Concrete Coating Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

This Study focused on developing the foundational technologies for coating concrete structures with bacteria. In order to utilize the self-purifying capability of bacteria and improve the durability of the concrete, this Study selects the bacteria to form slime films with and proposers the technology to adsorb such coating. Based on the assessment of the slime formation and growth rate of rhodobater capsulatus on different media, maltose was found to be the optimum medium condition. Then, different adsorption materials were used to fix the rhodobater capsulatus cultivated on the proposed medium, and their adsorption characteristics were assessed through image analysis. The high-porous resin is recommended for rhodobater capsulatus adsorption.
