The Metal Catalyst Influences the Kinetics and Mechanisms of MS2 Inactivation in Fenton-like Systems

Human enteric viruses are frequent microbial contaminants of surface water and groundwater. Waterborne viruses can be effectively inactivated by oxidants, such as those generated in Fenton-like systems. However, the mechanisms by which this inactivation oc ...

Virus removal and inactivation by iron (hydr)oxide-mediated Fenton-like processes under sunlight and in the dark

Tamar Kohn, Jessica Ivana Nieto Juarez

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional disinfection methods to control microbial water quality, yet little is known about the fate of viruses in such processes. In this study, we investigated the fate of ...

Virus Inactivation by Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Fenton-like Processes

Jessica Ivana Nieto Juarez

Human enteric viruses in water sources cause a great public health risk. Conventional disinfection treatments are not able to completely inactive viruses. However, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have recently been shown to effectively inactivate patho ...

An innovative ultrasound, Fe2+ and TiO2 photoassisted process for bisphenol a mineralization

César Pulgarin, Jessica Ivana Nieto Juarez

This paper explores the degradation of a model pollutant, bisphenol A, by an advanced oxidation process that combines sonolysis, Fe2+, and TiO2 in a photoassisted process. Experiments were done under saturated oxygen conditions. The effect of different Fe2 ...

Inactivation of MS2 coliphage in Fenton and Fenton-like systems: role of transition metals, hydrogen peroxide and sunlight

Tamar Kohn, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Jessica Ivana Nieto Juarez

The inactivation of coliphage MS2 by iron- and copper-catalyzed Fenton systems was studied to assess the importance of this process for virus inactivation in natural systems and during water treatment by advanced oxidation processes. The influence of H2O2 ...
