CuO NPs were prepared by a quick precipitation method in the absence and presence of tetraoctylammonium
bromide (TOAB) that was used as a stabilizer to control the nanoparticles size. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and
Scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to characterize CuO NPs. The NPs average size was from 7-12nm with rod-like shape that was controlled by the change of preparation temperatures and the presence of
TOAB surfactant.The antibacterial activity of the prepared CuO NPs were evaluated using total coliform (TC),
fecal coliform (FC) and Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) bacteria counts in wastewater. Different parameters
were studied to obtain the optimum wastewater disinfection conditions, these parameters are nanoparticlessize, and concentration, TOAB surfactantstabilization, contact time, pH, shaking and temperature of wastewater
