In present study, the copper nanoparticles were coated on the surface of water purification filter using a biological technique. The coating characteristics were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Uv-vis spectroscopy and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The antimicrobial activity of the prepared filter was studied by measuring the diameter of the inhibition zone. In this work, two bacteria: one gramnegative of Escherichia coli and one
