The effect of immobilized catalyst structure on the degradation of chemical and biological contaminants in simulated solar photocatalytic water purification
The performance of different configurations of titanium dioxide-coated foam supports as photocatalysts in an enhanced solar disinfection system for drinking water treatment was evaluated, using the reduction of methylene blue, 1-4-dioxane, and Escherichia coli as performance indicators. Reactors with immobilized catalysts were able to match or surpass the performance of a suspension ...

Disinfection of roof harvested rainwater for potable purpose using pilot-scale solar photocatalytic fixed bed tubular reactor
The potable use of harvested rainwater is limited, mainly due to contamination with various pathogenic microorganisms. Disinfection of microorganisms by solar photocatalysis is emerging as a promising technique for drinking water treatment. The present study deals with the preparation of Ag-doped TiO2 by the sol gel method, and its immobilization over the inner surface of the Pyrex glass ...

Health gains from solar water disinfection (SODIS): evaluation of a water quality intervention in Yaoundé, Cameroon
In developing countries, the burden of diarrhoea is still enormous. One way to reduce transmission of pathogens is by water quality interventions. Solar water disinfection (SODIS) is a low-cost and simple method to improve drinking water quality on household level. This paper evaluates the implementation of SODIS in slum areas of Yaoundé, Cameroon. Promoters trained 2,911 households in the use of ...
