Effect of water compounds on photo-disinfection efficacy of TiO2 NP-embedded cellulose acetate film in natural water

Photocatalysis disinfection has great potential for irrigation water disinfection to improve fresh produce safety. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle (NP)-embedded cellulose acetate (CA) film has shown effectiveness against Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 in water. The current study evaluated t...

Effect of water compounds on photo-disinfection efficacy of TiO2 NP-embedded cellulose acetate film in natural water
description Photocatalysis disinfection has great potential for irrigation water disinfection to improve fresh produce safety. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle (NP)-embedded cellulose acetate (CA) film has shown effectiveness against Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 in water. The current study evaluated the effect of natural water compounds on the photo-disinfection efficacy of TiO2 NP-embedded CA film. Humic acid, calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and kaolin clay solutions were prepared at four concentrations, respectively.

Turbidity, UVT-254, water hardness, total suspended solids (TSS), and total organic carbon (TOC) of the solutions were measured. UVT-254 and turbidity had the highest correlation with the inhibition effect of water compounds on photo-disinfection efficacy.
