Abstract

TiO2 nanoparticles in the final treatment of municipal wastewater is of great importance because it is considered a material for the disinfection of total coliforms due to its antibacterial property with respect to its particle size. In the present work, the influence of temperature and calcination time during the synthesis process of titanium oxide nanoparticles has been studied. The results indicate that for calcination temperatures between 300 and 700 °C, TiO2 nanoparticles with hydrodynamic diameters ranging from 12 to 60 nm are obtained, which were found with a calcination time of 1 hour and 30 minutes. These results would indicate that for TiO2 nanoparticle sizes smaller than 60 nm, a decrease in the bacterial population present in treated municipal wastewater would be achieved, thus facilitating the reuse of this water through the application of a new technology.
