A high-performance doped photocatalysts for inactivation of total coliforms in superficial waters using different sources of radiation

Abstract: Photocatalytic water treatment has a currently elevated electricity demand and maintenance costs, but the photocatalytic water treatment may also assist in overcoming the limitations and drawbacks of conventional water treatment processes. Among the Advanced Oxidation Processes, heterogeneous photocatalysis is one of the most widely and efficiently used processes to degrade and/or remove a wide range of polluting compounds. The goal of this work was to find out a highly efficient photocatalytic disinfection pr… Show more

“…Claro, Bidoia, and de Moraes (2016) assessed the heterogeneous photocatalysis using a UVA‐LED as a source of UV light in the presence of three synthesized photocatalysts SiZnO, N‐SiZnO, and F‐N‐SiZnO. The photocatalytic inactivation efficiency of the three catalysts was then compared to TiO 2 added at a concentration of 0.5 g/L.…”

“…This may be accomplished using titania (titanium dioxide), which is the most popular catalyst, after a suitable modification of its substrates that involves doping with nonmetals and/or noble and transition metals . Those materials have been showing promising results over the last years, regarding the inactivation of microbial pathogens and the disinfection of various aqueous matrices . Nitrogen‐doped TiO 2 (N‐TiO 2 ) catalysts exhibit successful performance for water/wastewater purification and several nitrogen precursors have been employed, such as TiCl 4 or titanium tetra‐isopropoxide and urea or ammine .…”

“…9 Those materials have been showing promising results over the last years, regarding the inactivation of microbial pathogens and the disinfection of various aqueous matrices. 10,11 Nitrogen-doped TiO 2 (N-TiO 2 ) catalysts exhibit successful performance for water/wastewater purification and several nitrogen precursors have been employed, such as TiCl 4 or titanium tetra-isopropoxide and urea or ammine. 12 However, only a few reports have dealt with this group of catalysts and the inactivation of tolerant pathogens such as species belonging to the genera Pseudomonas and Bacillus.…”
