Hydrogen peroxide in household water treatment and disinfection technologies

Abstract

Highlights H2O2-assisted pasteurization led to >9.3 log10 removal of E. coli and >5.8 phage. Synergistic effects were obtained for E. coli inactivation. Quadratic empirical models for E. coli and phage inactivation were proposed. No correlation was found for H2O2 residuals and water temperature. H2O2 may increase robustness of pasteurization setups for POE applications.
