Abstract

Present study report the synthesis of Ag/TiO₂ catalyst to study its ability to disinfect the pathogenic microorganisms and degrade into micropollutants in water. The Ag/TiO₂ was synthesized by photoassisted deposition (PAD) method. The ratio of silver dopant varied (1%, 3% and 5%) to the total weight of the composite. The SEM-EDX, UV-Vis DRS and XRD techniques were used to characterize and determine the influence of silver dopant on the TiO₂ structure. In this study, the microorganism used was Escherichia coli and the microplastic used was polyethylene. During the photocatalytic process under ultraviolet light irradiation, a magnetic stirrer was used at 2000 rpm. The performance of photocatalyst in E. coli disinfection and microplastic degradation improved by the addition of silver dopant. The 3% silver dopant has optimum performance with 79% of microbial disinfection within 2 h and 81% microplastic degradation within 4 h.
