Abstract
Spherical carbon powders were prepared by carbonizing ion-exchange resin at the temperature ranging from 500 to 900°C. The adsorption of bacteria by the samples obtained was studied. The specific surface area of samples was a range from 25 to 50 m2g-1 and increased slightly with increasing the carbonizing temperature. By the measurements of the adsorbed amount of bacteria, it was found that the adsorbed amount on the surface of samples increased withthe increase of carbonizing temperature. The adsorbed amount of Staphylococcus aureus was smaller han that of Escherichia coli.
