Abstract

Being something of fundamental importance for the maintenance of health life in the planet, conservation programs and water reuse are good tools for the preservation and promotion of a sustainable environment. It has already been studied that the application of antibacterial materials in water treatment could be an efficient method to promote the reuse of this natural resource. It’s known that, through the effect oligodynamic, some metals are able to promote death of some microorganisms and/or to prevent their proliferation. This study aimed to study the use of a glassy matrix doped with zinc ions on the treatment of water contaminated with Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. To evaluate the antimicrobial activity and the release of zinc ions, the compound was submitted to tests of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Atomic Absorption (AA) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF). It has been concluded that the matrix doped with zinc ions is an excellent alternative for the treatment of contaminated water, whereas for the highest concentration tested, there was a reduction of approximately 100% in bacterial growth. It was checked that the compound is nontoxic, which further enhances the application of this compound.

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication

The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles. 

Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

In particular, 

Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.

Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.

Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
