Synthesis and characterization of magnetically separable Ag/AgCl-magnetic activated carbon composites for visible light induced photocatalytic detoxification and disinfection

- Ag/AgCl-magnetic activated carbon (A-MAC) composites were synthesized.
- The A-MAC composites were quasi-superparamagnetic and visible light active.
- Photocatalytic activity was quantified for the degradation of organic pollutants.
- Photocatalytic inactivation was studied using Escherichia coli K-12.
