Increasing and eliminating the (Fecal coliforms, thermotolerant coliform and fecal streptococcus) bacteria by resin of the poly (para carboxy acid phenol-d-Glucose) to clean up waste water

In this research paper we represent a novel synthetic antibacterial phenolic polymer (pAP-DG) containing carboxylic acid group in para position. The study of poly (p-carboxylic acid phenol d-Glucose) as an antibacterial resin was focused on the development of antimicrobial polymers to clean up the water of pathogenic bacteria. The polycondensation reaction was realized between p-carboxy acid phenol (pAP) and d-Glucose (DG) as monomers; using sulfuric acid as homogeneous catalyst.

The obtained polymer was used via fecal coliform (TC), thermotolerant coliforms (CTT) and fecal streptococci (ST) bacteria to evaluate the water quality. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized resin was carried out by the contact method so the capacity of this resin was confirmed. In general, the polymer has a good antimicrobial activity against the microorganisms tested; the resulting polymer was characterized by various spectroscopy methods such as: ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, DSC and FTIR and a mechanism has been proposed for this polycondensation reaction.
