Disinfection of drinking water is the most successful measure to reduce water-borne diseases and protect health. However, disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formed from reaction disinfectants such as chlorine monochloramine with organic matter may cause bladder cancer other adverse health effects. In this study formation DBPs through a full-scale treatment plant serving metropolitan area in Australia was assessed using vitro bioanalytical tools, well quantification halogen-specific adsorbable...
Membranes are a mechanical form of disinfection that works by physical separation the target pathogen. In theory, an intact membrane is barrier to pathogens larger in size than pore membrane. However, practice distribution or molecular weight cutoff will provide indication efficiency and many cases complete rejection virus not demonstrated various processes. The general mechanism pathogen removal processes predominantly achieved exclusion, influenced physicochemical properties membrane,...
Analytical solutions of the Nernst-Planck, Poisson and continuity equations for a membrane undergoing reverse osmosis in cross-flow system reveal that flow alternating ionic charge induced during impedance measurements is actively assisted by water. The driven current manifested "inductive" responses Filmtec BW30 mounted an Inphaze flat-bed module after 16 hours filtering mineral salt solution seeded with CaCl2 NaHCO3 at pressure 900 kPa. Fitted transfer functions resolved conduction...
