Abstract

The purpose of this work to study the dispose of tuberculosis, which is a major problem of public health around the world by using the advanced oxidation reaction with the photocatalytic process. This research was studied the efficiency of tuberculosis (H37Rv) disposal by using N-TiO2 as a photocatalyst prepared by the sol-gel process and formed by dipping process with sponge substrate. The disposal of tuberculosis was tested under ultraviolet light (UVC) and visible light irradiation with N-TiO2 photocatalyst at room temperature and in the negative pressure atmosphere. The results shown that, the N-TiO2  photocatalyst could be disposed the tuberculosis in both of ultraviolet (UVC) and visible light.
