Surface water treatment by UV/H2O2 with subsequent soil aquifer treatment: impact on micropollutants, dissolved organic matter and biological activity

Urs von Gunten, Fabienne Eugster, Thomas Wintgens

Because organic micropollutants (MP) are frequently detected in river waters that are used as drinking water sources, combining a relatively cost-efficient natural treatment with upstream advanced oxidation processes (AOP) appears promising for their effic ...

Comparing the anti-bacterial performance of chlorination and electrolysis post-treatments in a hand washing water recycling system

Odile Marie Clotilde Hervás de Nalda-Larivé

Innovative solutions are necessary to enable the decentralized recycling of greywater for applications requiring high-quality water, such as hand washing. While physical barriers such as ultrafiltration membranes effectively prevent the passage of bacteria ...

Environmental considerations on solar disinfection of wastewater and the subsequent bacterial (re)growth

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis

In this work, solar disinfection of wastewater was studied, focusing on the effect of selected environmental variables, namely light intensity, continuous/intermittent light delivery, and post-irradiation storage as well as dilution in lake water. These va ...

Technologies for the treatment of source-separated urine in the eThekwini Municipality

Tamar Kohn, Linda Strande, Kai Udert, Bastian Etter

In recent years, a large number of urine-diverting dehydration toilets (UDDTs) have been installed in eThekwini to ensure access to adequate sanitation. The initial purpose of these toilets was to facilitate faeces drying, while the urine was diverted into ...

Degradation of emergent contaminants by UV, UV/H2O2 and neutral photo-fenton at pilot scale in a domestic wastewater treatment plant

Dominique Grandjean, César Pulgarin, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Natalia de la Cruz, Anoys Magnet

This study focuses on the removal of 22 selected micropollutants in an effluent from a municipal wastewater treatment plant (MWTP) at pilot scale. A reactor of 37 L with five low pressure mercury lamps emitting at 254 nm (UV254) was used. The 22 micropollu ...
