Photocatalytic Removal of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa from Water Using Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles and UV Irradiation
Background: Titanium dioxide (TiO2)-mediated photocatalysis has been found to be an efficient method of water treatment and is capable of degrading a wide range of organic pollutants and microbial agents with high efficiency. The microorganism Pseudomonas aeruginosa is resistant to chemicals and UV irradiation. Bacteria which are resistant to UV-induced oxidative damage of the cell membrane are...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic Disinfection of Coliform Bacteria Using UV/TiO2.
BACKGROUND There are great interests in photocatalytic oxidation of contaminants using titanium dioxide in recent years. The main objective of this research was to study photocatalytic disinfection of Coliform bacteria as water microbial pollution index using TiO2 and a low pressure UV lamp in a batch reactor. METHODS The polluted water was prepared by adding a colony of Coliform in raw water...
متن کاملDisinfection of Bacillus spp. spores in drinking water by TiO2 photocatalysis as a model for Bacillus anthracis
During the last decade the use of titanium dioxide has been the focus of water purification studies for photocatalytic degradation of organic compounds. Various studies have shown that TiO2 photocatalysis is a very efficient process for removal (by mineralization) of a large variety of hazardous chemicals. However, the potential use of this technology for water disinfection has been essentially...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic inactivation of Cryptosporidium parvum on nanostructured titanium dioxide films.
Control of waterborne gastrointestinal parasites represents a major concern to water industries worldwide. In developed countries, pathogens in drinking water supplies are normally removed by sand filtration followed by chemical disinfection. Cryptosporidium spp. are generally resistant to common disinfection techniques and alternative control strategies are being sought. In the current study, ...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic inactivation of Clostridium perfringens spores on TiO2 electrodes
Disinfection of drinking water is commonly carried out by chlorination, however research has shown this method to be ineffective against certain rotozoan, viral and biofilm forming microorganisms. Furthermore, chlorination can result in the formation of mutagenic disinfection by-products. emiconductor photocatalysis may be a possible alternative to chlorination for point-of-use drinking water d...
