- Abstract
In the area of water treatment, nanotechnology offers materials that can be used effectively for the detection and removal chemical and biological contaminants from water. In this study silver titanium nanoparticles (AgTiO2) were synthesized using liquid impregnation method for use in waste water treatment. The crystal structure was studied via XRD (X-ray diffraction), the surface morphology and particle size distribution of obtained nanoparticles investigated by SEM (scanning electron microscope) and UV-VIS Spectrometer was used to study some optical properties of prepared nanoparticles. X-ray results show that the AgTiO2 crystals have tetragonal crystal system with average crystallite sizes equal 56.3 nm, SEM image display that the surface of AgTiO2 nanoparticles was ununiform with surface roughness equal 22.91 pm particles size equal 53.28 nm. The absorption of AgTiO2 nanoparticles value equal 3.386 (a.u) at wavelength (332) nm While the reflection equal (0.204%) at wavelength (330) nm, both absorbance and reflection in UV region. The synthesized AgTiO2 nanoparticles were added to water contaminated with Escherichia coli at different concentration (0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7) ppm during four weeks, the number of Escherichia coli and pH level in contaminated water decreased when AgTiO2 nanoparticles increased, the water becomes pH neutral when adding AgTiO2 (0.5ppm) at fourth week.
