Analysis on the Efficacy of Photodynamic Antimicrobial Chemotherapy in Aquaculture Systems

چکیده
Jui-Teng Lin New Vision Inc. Taipei, Taiwan AbstractThis paper presents analytic equations for the photoinitiator concentration and the dynamic absorption of the photosensitizer, methylene blue (MB), in an aquaculture system. The modelling is consistent with the measured data showing the dynamic absorption is a decreasing function of the light illumination time due to the depletion of MB concentration. The efficacy and the production rate of reactive oxygen species are proportional to the MB concentration and the initial light intensity.
