Peracetic Acid (PAA) Disinfection: Inactivation of Microbial Indicators and Pathogenic Bacteria in a Municipal Wastewater Plant

Several studies have noted that treated and untreated wastewaters are primary contributors of a variety of pathogenic microorganisms to the aquatic ecosystem. Conventional wastewater treatment may not be sufficient to achieve microbiologically safe effluent to be discharged into natural waters or reused, thus requiring wastewater effluents to be disinfected. In recent years, peracetic acid (PAA...

Asthma caused by peracetic acid-hydrogen peroxide mixture.

Thorough preventive measures against potential patient infections caused by endoscopic material has become a priority in hospitals and has pushed hospital care personnel to use increasingly more powerful disinfectant products with much longer contact periods, which has been responsible for a deterioration in their health. Among chemical disinfectants, formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde were the mo...

Vaporized Peracetic Acid (vpa) Sterilization

M in ne ap ol is , M N 5 54 47 VAPORIZED PERACETIC ACID (VPA) STERILIZATION Peracetic Acid as a Biocide REVOXTM sterilization technology uses a room temperature vapor composed of three active compounds; hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), acetic acid and peracetic acid (PAA). PAA is formed by the reaction of acetic acid and H2O2 with the addition of a catalyst; these compounds exist in equilibrium and th...

Optical Properties of (PVA-PAA-Ag) Nanocomposites

In this paper, the effect of silver nanoparticles on optical properties of (PVA-PAA) nanocomposites has been investigated. The silver nanoparticles were added to the polymers (polyvinyl alcohol 80 wt.% and poly-acrylic acid 20 wr.%) with weight percentages of (0, 2, 4, 6) wt.%. The optical properties of nanocomposites were measured in the wavelength range (200-800) nm. The experimental results ...
