Visible light plays a significant role during bacterial inactivation by the photo-fenton process, even at sub-critical light intensities

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Rosa Mosteo, David Muzard, Angelica Varon Lopez

The aim of this research is to clarify the contribution of sunlight wavelengths, irradiance and Fe2+/H2O2 during bacterial disinfection by the photo-Fenton process in clear surface waters. We considered different solar spectrum distributions (visible, UVA- ...

UV disinfection of human norovirus: evaluating infectivity using a genome-wide PCR-based approach

Tamar Kohn, Krista Rule Wigginton, Brian Pecson, Suzanne Marie Young

The removal and inactivation of infectious human norovirus is a major focus in water purification, but its fate through disinfection treatment processes is largely unknown owing to the lack of a readily available infectivity assay. In particular, norovirus ...

Photocatalytic Nanowires-Based Air Filter: Towards Reusable Protective Masks

László Forró, Endre Horvath, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Caroline Lehmann

In the last couple decades, several viral outbreaks resulting in epidemics and pandemics with thousands of human causalities have been witnessed. The current Covid-19 outbreak represents an unprecedented crisis. In stopping the virus' spread, it is fundame ...

Adaptation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to constant sub-inhibitory concentrations of quaternary ammonium compounds

Urs von Gunten, Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Leonardo Venturelli, Myriam Borgatta

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are widely used in consumer products for disinfection purposes. QACs are frequently detected in aquatic systems at sub-inhibitory concentrations and were found to affect the development of antimicrobial resistance if ba ...

Chlorothalonil transformation products in drinking water resources: Widespread and challenging to abate

Urs von Gunten, Juliane Hollender

Chlorothalonil, a fungicide applied for decades worldwide, has recently been banned in the European Union (EU) and Switzerland due to its carcinogenicity and the presence of potentially toxic transformation products (TPs) in groundwater. The spread and con ...

Efficiency of pre-oxidation of natural organic matter for the mitigation of disinfection byproducts: Electron donating capacity and UV absorbance as surrogate parameters

Urs von Gunten

Pre-oxidation is often used before disinfection with chlorine to decrease the reactivity of the water matrix and mitigate the formation of regulated disinfection byproducts (DBPs). This study provides insights on the impact of oxidative pre-treatment with ...

Adaptation of Human Enterovirus to Warm Environments Leads to Resistance against Chlorine Disinfection

Tamar Kohn, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Virginie Bachmann, Timothy R. Julian

Sunlight, temperature, and microbial grazing are among the environmental factors promoting the inactivation of viral pathogens in surface waters. Globally, these factors vary across time and space. The persistence of viral pathogens, and ultimately their e ...

Solar-Electrochemical Platforms for Sodium Hypochlorite Generation in Developing Countries

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini Hashemi, Enrico Chinello

On-site generation of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) holds the potential to bring an efficient and cost-effective water disinfection method to isolated and remote locations. Solar-driven, stand-alone reactors could provide those communities full independence ...
