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.
期刊介绍：
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry is a journal for the rapid publication of research communications and reviews on modern problems of physical chemistry such as:
a) physicochemical bases, principles, and methods for creation of novel processes, compounds, and materials;
b) physicochemical principles of chemical process control, influence of external physical forces on chemical reactions;
c) physical nanochemistry, nanostructures and nanomaterials, functional nanomaterials, size-dependent properties of materials.
