摘要
The goal of the present study was to investigate the photocatalytic efficiency of titanium dioxide （TiO2） formed on titanium （Ti） bead substrate （referred herein as TiO2/Ti beads） by heat treatment when exposing to ultraviolet （UV） light irradiation. Escherichia coli was used as the model test organism. The results show 4-log and 7-log decrease in bacterial concentration after a test time of 15 and 120 min, respectively, using TiO2/Ti beads irradiated with UV light in a tin-foil covered beaker. This article presents the potential of TiO2 on Ti bead substrate formed by simple heat-treatment together with UV light for bacterial inactivation.
