Reduction of Escherichia Coli using ceramic disk filter decorated by nano-TiO2: A low-cost solution for household water purification

Lack of access to safe water is a challenge in many developing countries, especially in rural areas. It is urgent to develop cost-effective water purification technologies to guarantee drinking water safety in these areas. The present study investigated the reduction of Escherichia coli (E. coli) using ceramic disk filters (CDFs) decorated by nano-TiO_2. The production of CDFs coated with nano-TiO₂ in terms of rice-husk ratio, rice-husk particle …
