Abstract
Several studies have been carried out with several materials on the removal of methylene blue from water. Well-known bioactive glass 46S5.2 was prepared by complete replacement of the silicate partner with boron oxide via a two-step crystallization process, in particular its glass-ceramic derivative. The characterization techniques for ceramic sample were performed such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was employed to ensure that silver addition reaches to the nanoscale. UV/Vis. optical absorption spectroscopy was utilized in the retracing process of methylene blue adsorption from its contaminated water. The antimicrobial activity of the prepared sample was also studied extensively. Also for the prepared glass-ceramic samples, the reusability test was carried out to ensure that they could be used more than once in water treatment applications.
