The Development of Photocatalytic Systems Entitled Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles Attached to Polypropylene Fibrous Carrier for Freshwater Disinfection

Abstract:

In the current article the use of nanoparticles of titanium dioxide is justified to be an active component of the photocatalytic materials. The relationship between composition, structure and bactericidal properties of titanium dioxide is also established. It is shown that the polypropylene carrier comprising on a surface of at least 2.1 ± 0.3 mg/g of titanium dioxide nanoparticles, where both phases of titanium dioxide such as rutile and anatase are presented, allows the antibacterial treatment of water with high efficiency and it can be used for water purification from microbial contamination.
