Preparation of silver immobilized TiO2-Hectorite and its application in phenol photooxidation and Eschericia coli bacteria desinfection has been conducted. Material was obtained by two steps of synthesis: preparation of TiO2-Hectorite and silver immobilization into TiO2-Hectorite. Physico-chemical characterization to the prepared material compared to raw hectorite was conducted by X-ray Diffrac...

boiling of water for its purification has been recommended since 500 b. o. modern desinfecition methods involve specialized treatments for the purpose of destroying or inactivating pathogenic organisms . different factors .in flu - ensing the efficiency of desinfection are considered in this article physical and chemical methods of water desinfection are described briefly the use of chemical ox...

Excessive algal growth in drinking water sources is responsible for toxin generation, and desinfection-by-product formation. In the photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants, titanium dioxide has been found to be highly efficient in the generation of hydroxyl radicals, which aree considered responsible for degradation of toxins and inactivation of water-borne microorganisms. The paper ...
