Background. The development of alternative processes to eliminate pathogenic agents in water is a matter of growing interest. Current drinking water disinfection procedures, such as chlorination and ozonation, can generate disinfection by-products with car ...
Background. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the development of new processes for water disinfection since the traditional processes, such as chlorination, can lead to the production of toxic disinfection by-products. Sunlight has been ...
Cement based Eternit plates modified by TiO2/SiO2 surface layers acquired self-cleaning properties. The TiO2/SiO2 coating was transparent indicating that the small TiO2 (rutile) crystals cause no significant scattering. The parameters related to the compos ...
Thirteen different commercial TiO2 powders with specific surface areas varying from 9 to 335 m/g and with isoelectric points (IEP) from 3 to 7.5 were investigated for their catalytic activity in E. coli inactivation. The TiO2 samples zeta potential, attenu ...
