Abstract

Nanosized TiO₂ was prepared by hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide in the presence of a new bacterial strain Bacillus paralicheniformis. It was shown that the sample predominantly consisted of rutile nanoparticles with an average size of 15.4 nm. The obtained TiO₂ possessed photocatalytic activity in the process of dye decolorization in effluents of a textile manufacturing industry. It was found that treatment of such solutions by the bacteria Bacillus paralicheniformis followed by irradiation in the presence of TiO₂ increased the process efficiency.
