An excellent visible light activated Ag and garlic loaded TiO2 nanocatalyst was prepared by using AgNO3 and garlic (Allium sativum) as the Ag+ and sulfur sources, respectively. The catalyst resisted the change from anatase to rutile phase even at high (700 degrees C) calcination temperature. The photocatalytic efficiency of as-prepared nanocatalysts was evaluated by degrading (100 ppm) azodye, methyl orange (MO), and dichloro phenol (DCP) under visible light irradiation for 3 to 4 h from an incandescent light bulb (300 W). The process followed first order reaction kinetics with reaction rates ranging from 9.5 x 10(-4) to 19.4 x 10(-3) min(-1). The dye was decomposed in 3 h and more than 70% DCP degraded in 4 h in the presence of Ag and garlic loaded-TiO2 calcined at 700 degrees C. Demineralization of the solution was in the range 40 to 90%. A complete elimination of Vibrio fischeri was accomplished with 1 mg L-1 of nanocatalyst regardless the calcination temperature. The catalyst was used for up to 5 consecutive runs without the significant loss in the photocatalytic activity and could be regenerated by adopting a simple procedure of washing with water and acetone as well as drying at 200 degrees C for 2 h.
