In this article, we report on the research on the synthesis of composites based on a porous, highly ordered silica material modified by a metallic nanophase and chitosan biofilm. Due to the ordered pore system of the SBA-15 silica, this material proved to be a good carrier for both the biologically active nanophase (highly dispersed silver nanoparticles, AgNPs) and the adsorption active phase (chitosan). The antimicrobial susceptibility was determined against Gram-positive ATCC 25923, Gram-negative bacterial strains ( ATCC 25922, ATCC 700603, and ATCC 27853), and yeast ATCC 90028. The zones of microbial growth inhibition correlated with the content of silver nanoparticles deposited in the composites and were the largest for (14-21 mm) and (12-17 mm). The suitability of the composites for the purification of water and wastewater from anionic pollutants was evaluated based on kinetic and equilibrium adsorption studies for the dye Acid Red 88. The composite with the highest amount of the chitosan component showed the greatest adsorption capacity (a) of 0.57 mmol/g and the most effective kinetics with a rate constant (log k) and half-time (t) of -0.21 and 1.62 min, respectively. Due to their great practical importance, AgNP-chitosan-silica composites can aspire to be classified as functional materials combining the environmental problem with microbiological activity.
