Kinetic modeling of lag times during photo-induced inactivation of E. coli in sunlit surface waters: Unraveling the pathways of exogenous action

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Jean Arnaud Troyon

This work presents a kinetic analysis of the exogenous photo-induced disinfection of E. coli in natural waters. Herein, the inactivation of bacteria by light and photo-generated transient species, i.e., hydroxyl radical (HO center dot), excited triplet sta ...

A systematic investigation on the bactericidal transient species generated by photo-sensitization of natural organic matter (NOM) during solar and photo Fenton disinfection of surface waters

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Mona Kohantorabi, Ling Feng

In this work, the role of dissolved oxygen in the solar and the photo-Fenton-mediated E. coli inactivation process was put under scrutiny. The effect of transient species that were produced in the presence of various natural organic matter isolates (NOM), ...

Enhancing solar disinfection of water in PET bottles by optimized in-situ formation of iron oxide films. From heterogeneous to homogeneous action modes with H2O2 vs. O-2 - Part 1: Iron salts as oxide precursors

César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Sakine Shekoohiyan

Solar disinfection (SODIS) is a WHO-accepted intervention method for improving water sources in developing countries. Despite its effectiveness, the limitations of long exposure and bacterial regrowth risk demand further improvement of the practice. In thi ...

E-coli-MS2 bacteriophage interactions during solar disinfection of wastewater and the subsequent post-irradiation period

César Pulgarin, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Stefanos Giannakis, Margaux Océane Voumard

In this study, the effect of MS2 bacteriophage on the inactivation of its Escherichia coli host was evaluated in an effort to recreate some the main factors governing solar disinfection of wastewater (namely microbial growth, infection, photonic flux). As ...

Enhancing solar disinfection of water in PET bottles by optimized in-situ formation of iron oxide films. From heterogeneous to homogeneous action modes with H2O2 vs. O-2 - Part 2: Direct use of (natural) iron oxides

César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Sakine Shekoohiyan

Solar disinfection (SODIS) is a well-accepted intervention method, leading to an improvement in contaminated water sources. In this work, we attempted to further enhance the bacterial inactivation process during light exposure. By means of iron oxide addit ...

Supported PtxPd1-x bimetallic nanoparticles on ionic liquid-functionalized SiO2@graphene oxide nanocomposite and its application as an effective multiphasic catalyst

Stefanos Giannakis, Mona Kohantorabi

In this work, PtxPd1-x (x = 0, 0.5, and 1) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized on the surface of SiO2@graphene oxide which covered by 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmitn] PF6) ionic liquid (IL) layer. FT-IR spectroscopy, zeta potential ...

Enhanced mineralization of atrazine by surface induced hydroxyl radicals over light-weight granular mixed-quartz sands with ozone

Stefanos Giannakis, Jun Ma, Da Wang, Shuang Song

A light-weight granular mixed-quartz sand (denoted as L-GQS) combined with stirring-assisted bubble column reactor was firstly applied in catalytic ozonation of atrazine. The L-GQS, with a density of 2.36 g cm(-3) and average diameter of ca. of 4 mm, was r ...

Iron-coated polymer films with high antibacterial activity under indoor and outdoor light, prepared by different facile pre-treatment and deposition methods

César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Laura Victoria Suárez Murillo, Ania Schärer

In the present work, we study the fabrication of self-cleaning antibacterial surfaces, active under indoor or outdoor light. In order to obtain the highest activity with the lowest complexity we assess mild conditions of preparation (temperatures), pre-tre ...

A review of the concepts, recent advances and niche applications of the (photo) Fenton process, beyond water/wastewater treatment: Surface functionalization, biomass treatment, combatting cancer and other medical uses

Stefanos Giannakis

The Fenton reaction was discovered over 120 years ago, yet our understanding of the complete reaction mechanism of the seemingly simple iron and hydrogen peroxide reaction (Fe + H2O2) remains unclear, thus limiting its full potential. In this work, the aim ...

Effect of μM Fe addition, mild heat and solar UV on sulfate radical-mediated inactivation of bacteria, viruses, and micropollutant degradation in water

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, César Pulgarin, Dominique Grandjean, Stefanos Giannakis, Miloch Marjanovic

In this work, solar disinfection (SODIS) was enhanced by moderate addition of Fe and sodium perox- ydisulfate (PDS), under solar light. A systematic assessment of the activating factors was performed, firstly isolated, then in pairs and concluded in the co ...
