Abstract

TiO2-photocatalysis disinfection experiments were carried out with both E. coli in distilled water and natural water samples from the Cauca River (Cali, Colombia). The experiments performed with E. coli in distilled water showed no increase in cell concentration after the treated solution was left in the dark for 24 h. However, the experiments carried out with natural water samples showed drastic culturable cell concentration increase 24 h after stopping the irradiation. This shows the lack of residual effect of TiO2-photocatalysis.

Bottled water

Bottled water is drinking water (e.g., well water, distilled water, mineral water, or spring water) packaged in plastic or glass water bottles. Bottled water may be carbonated or not. Sizes range from small single serving bottles to large carboys for water coolers. Although vessels to bottle and transport water were part of the earliest human civilizations, bottling water began in the United Kingdom with the first water bottling at the Holy Well in 1622.

Purified water

Purified water is water that has been mechanically filtered or processed to remove impurities and make it suitable for use. Distilled water was, formerly, the most common form of purified water, but, in recent years, water is more frequently purified by other processes including capacitive deionization, reverse osmosis, carbon filtering, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, ultraviolet oxidation, or electrodeionization.

Water quality

Water quality refers to the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of water based on the standards of its usage. It is most frequently used by reference to a set of standards against which compliance, generally achieved through treatment of the water, can be assessed. The most common standards used to monitor and assess water quality convey the health of ecosystems, safety of human contact, extent of water pollution and condition of drinking water.
