 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 16 High-purity copper-zinc alloy particles inhibit growth of Legionella bacteria research 【Abstract】 Objective algae removal sterilizer Legionella micro-ecological damage and suppress growth of Legionella bacteria. For the establishment of no side effects on the environment, low operating costs, the effect lasting provide a basis for preventive measures. Methods In early July 2005, collected Legionella positive air-conditioning cooling water to simulate conditions of air-conditioning cooling towers, with high-purity copper-zinc alloy particles as filler to set next to the filter device to establish experimental model, while setting the control model. Week 2 in the model to take water samples measured the number of Legionella bacteria, algae number, amoeba number and variety of water quality parameters, for 4 weeks. Resulted in the creation of model 1 week after the experimental model can be seen only smaller plastic chlorella, the number of Legionella with experimental time increased, the decline increases to 4 weeks showed a stable trend; control model with the experimental time increased, the Legionella number and the number of frond showing an increase, and can be seen amoeba trophozoites. Conclusion of high-purity copper-zinc alloy particles as filler to set next to the filter device, either kill Legionella bacteria come into contact with them can also remove the algae, amoeba, etc. A total of Legionella organisms, to reduce the propagation of Legionella rate, manner as not to high concentrations of polluting the surrounding environment or spread to other cooling towers, with good promotion prospects. Keywords: high-purity copper-zinc alloy particles Studies have shown that, due to air conditioning cooling towers with adequate sunshine and sunshine to provide favorable conditions for algal growth, so that Legionella and other bacteria have enough food sources in a longer period at a logarithmic growth state 〔1〕.
