Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection is now widely implemented as a tertiary treatment for wastewater
reclamation. The negative impact of suspended particles on UV disinfection efficiency has …

Waterborne microbial contamination poses significant environmental and health risks.
Photocatalytic heterogeneous Fenton and Fenton-like processes can offer efficient pathogen …

Abstract The Vacuum-UV/UV process, an incipient catalyst/chemical-free advanced
oxidation process (AOP), is potentially a cost-effective solution for the removal of harmful …

Biological treatment, due to its low installation cost, is widely used for wastewater treatment.
However, this treatment remains ineffective for the oxidation of so-called emerging …

In this paper, the effect of suspended flocs on the tailing of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection
kinetics of secondary effluents was examined. To achieve this goal, final effluents produced …

UV radiation is a spread method used worldwide for the disinfection of water. However,
much of the research on the disinfection of bacterial cells by UV has focused on planktonic …

Pilot-scale sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were used to assess the effects of sludge
retention time, temperature, and influent phosphorus level on floc physicochemical …

Water treatment and reuse are fundamental because of the increasing demand for
freshwater, especially in agriculture. Accordingly, this study evaluated the effects of turbidity …

The effects of floc structural characteristics, ie shape and dense biomass distribution, were
evaluated on ultraviolet (UV) disinfection resistance, represented by the tailing level of the …
