Summary: Microbiologically contaminated water is a global health hazard, but the use of nanomaterials as filtration beds offers a solution. In this study, a hybrid nanocomposite of activated carbon, graphene oxide, and bioactive TiO2/Ag nanoparticles showed antimicrobial and photocatalytic properties. The nanocomposites effectively decomposed dye and eliminated both model and waterborne bacteria cells, with up to 100% removal rate. Furthermore, the nanocomposites could be regenerated at low temperatures. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of nanocomposite filtration beds in eliminating microbiological contamination.

Summary: The study investigated the removal efficiency of reactive red 195 (RR195) dye by photocatalysis process using Ag/TiO2 and Ag/TiO2/Fe3O4 nanocomposite under UV-A and visible irradiation. The structural properties of the photocatalyst were analyzed using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, and TEM. Experimental results showed that 92% and 95% dye removal efficiencies were achieved using Ag/TiO2/Fe3O4 photocatalyst after 30 min of UV-A irradiation for photocatalysis and sonophotocatalysis processes, respectively. The highest dye removal in photocatalysis experiments was obtained as 98% and 96% for 120 min visible irradiation and 30 min UV-A irradiation, respectively, under optimum initial conditions.
