Abstract

The functional composites of activated carbon black-titanium dioxide (ACB-TiO2) with antibacterial-photocatalytic properties have been properly synthesized in this research using ultrasonic of 40 kHz, 2´50 W at 50oC for 10, 20, and 30 minutes agitation time. This research aimed to enhance titanium dioxide's antibacterial and photocatalytic properties (TiO2) using activated carbon black (ACB) particles forming ACB-TiO2 composites. The antibacterial properties of the materials were evaluated based on their capability of inhibiting Escherichia coli (gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positive) bacteria cells growth, while the photocatalytic properties of them were evaluated based on their capability of degrading methyl orange dye molecules under ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. It is conclusively known that the ACB-TiO2 composites can be synthesized from the activated carbon black (ACB) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) of about 164 nm and 547 nm in their particle size respectively employed ultrasonic agitations for the various time. All of the produced ACB-TiO2 composites could inhibit the bacterial cell growth and also could decompose the methyl orange molecules with the best was that synthesized using 30 minutes ultrasonic agitation time.
