Background. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the development of new processes for water disinfection since the traditional processes, such as chlorination, can lead to the production of toxic disinfection by-products. Sunlight has been ...
Background. The development of alternative processes to eliminate pathogenic agents in water is a matter of growing interest. Current drinking water disinfection procedures, such as chlorination and ozonation, can generate disinfection by-products with car ...
In drinking water treatment, the inactivation of microorganisms increases with increasing disinfectant exposure (product of concentration and contact time. CT). Also, the formation of undesired (toxic) disinfection by-products increases with CT. The presen ...
The formation of bromate levels exceeding the drinking water standard of 10 mu g L-1 may impose the reduction of ozone doses used in the treatment of drinking water. This paper illustrates the procedure of evaluating the use of reduced ozone doses while im ...
Chlorine, widely used as a disinfectant for drinking water production, is known to interact with organic matter to yield disinfection by-products (DBPs). Some of these compounds, as the trihalomethanes, are highly toxic for human health. Alternative disinf ...
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 ...
In this work, the oxidative stress was produced by the illumination of either fixed TiO2 or suspended TiO2. and the relation between cultivability and viability under oxidative conditions was studied using a Direct Viable Count (DVC) and Fluorescence In Si ...
Sustainable development is an issue that is gaining more and more relevance in all areas of society, though specifically in industry. In order to move towards the goal of sustainability, life cycle thinking is an essential element. For the implementation o ...
The occurrence and the fate of trihalomethanes (THMs) in the water supply system of Hanoi City, Vietnam was investigated from 1998 to 2001. The chlorination efficiency, THM speciation, and, THM formation potential (THMFP) was determined in the water works ...
Disinfection of surface water containing dissolved iron (0.3 mg L-1) at natural neutral pH (similar to 7.5) was carried out via solar disinfection (SODIS) treatment in PET bottles with H2O2 (10 mg L-1). Wild coliforms and Salmonella sp. were monitored for ...
