In the present paper, silver colloid films prepared by self-assembly method were used as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrates to achieve trace detection of antibiotics in water. Silver colloids were prepared using the microwave heating method, and silver colloids films were prepared with self-assembly method. The enhancement of sliver colloid films to antibiotics was analysed by changing the pH value of silver colloid and times of films. Significant effects of pH value on silver colloid films were observed. And the silver colloid films with five times, prepared by silver colloids with pH 4 had the best enhancement factor. They were used as SERS active substrates to detect three antibiotics (chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin). The experimental limits of detection were 120, 15, 120 nmol x L(-1), respectively. These results show that such substrate has a very high sensitivity and application value, and might be able to be used for trace detection of antibiotics in aquiculture.

The widespread use of silver nanoparticles in many industries is increasing every year. Along with this use, there is growing concern about the potential unintentional exposure of human and animal organisms to these nanomaterials. It has been shown that AgNPs have the ability to penetrate organisms and can have harmful effects on cells and organs in the body.

Detergents and disinfectants for dairy industry must meet a variety of characteristics, including low toxicity, high antibacterial activity, and excellent rinsing of pollutants from working surfaces. This work presents an innovative detergent-disinfectant agent based on whey mineralizate and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), which allows reducing production costs and ensuring high cleanliness of treated surfaces compared to analogues. For this purpose, a method for obtaining sols of Ag NPs stabilized with didecyldimethylammonium bromide (Ag NPs-DDAB) was developed and optimized using neural network algorithms.
