Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been considered as emerging contaminants of
concern nowadays. There are no special technologies designed to directly remove ARGs in …

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is widely used for wastewater disinfection but suffers from low
inactivation rates and can cause photoreactivation of microorganisms. Synergistic …

This study investigated the inactivation of two antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)—sul1 and
tetG, and the integrase gene of class 1 integrons—intI1 by chlorination, ultraviolet (UV), and …

This study investigated disinfection methods including chlorination, ultraviolet (UV)
irradiation and sequential UV/chlorination treatment on the inactivation of antibiotic …

The effect of UV/Cl 2 disinfection on the biofilm and corrosion of cast iron pipes in drinking
water distribution system were studied using annular reactors (ARs). Passivation occurred …

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation has proven an effective tool for inactivating microorganisms in
water. There is, however, a need to look at disinfection from a different perspective because …

UV/NH 2 Cl process is an emerging combined disinfection method. This study
comprehensively analyzed the inactivation of P. aeruginosa in UV/NH 2 Cl process, which is …

The effectiveness of UV and chlorination, used individually and sequentially, was
investigated in killing pathogenic microorganisms and inhibiting the formation of disinfection …

Viruses in wastewater and natural environments are often present as aggregates. The
disinfectant dose required for their inactivation, however, is typically determined with …

Environmental changes and intense human activities enlarge the risks of infectious diseases
and emphasize the growing importance of disinfection actions. Ultraviolet irradiation and …
