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 ...
Bacteria inactivation and natural organic matter oxidation in river water was simultaneously conducted via photo-Fenton reaction at "natural" pH (similar to 6.5) containing 0.6 mg L-1 of Fe3+ and 10 mg L-1 of H2O2. The experiments were carried out by using ...
The preparation of iron oxide-coated polymer films and their photocatalytic activity in organic pollutants degradation and bacterial inactivation is described. Polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene terephtalate (PET) films were used ...
This study shows that iodinated organic compounds can be produced when iodide-containing waters are in contact with manganese oxide bimessite (delta-MnO2) in the pH range of 5-7. In the absence of natural organic matter (NOM), iodide is oxidized to iodate ...
The objective of the present study was to characterize the removal of the model surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) from waters using several radical-based water treatment processes. Fenton's reagent has shown high efficacy in surfactant degr ...
Kinetics, products, and pathways of 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) transformation during chlorination of water with and without bromide (Br-) were studied to evaluate the effect of chlorination on the fate of steroid estrogens. Br- can be important for th ...
Heterogeneous photocatalysis over TiO2 using the sunlight seems to be a promising technology for waste-water treatment and drinking water production. However, the overall efficiency of TiO2 under natural sunlight is limited to the UV-driven activity (λ < 4 ...
Background, aim and scope After the discovery of chloroform in drinking water, an extensive amount of work has been dedicated to the factors influencing the formation of halogenated disinfections by-products (DBPs). The disinfection practice can vary signi ...
The aim of this study was to determine the difference in disinfection between aggregated and dispersed virus. Bacteriophage MS2 was chosen as a surrogate for enteric virus. The first part of this project consisted of characterizing the aggregation of MS2 a ...
Background Two porphyry copper mines located in southern Peru initiated the discharge of mine wastes (tailings) for a final shore deposition in the Bay of Ite (Pacific Ocean). 780 millions metric tons of tailings were deposited, which formed a delta with a ...
