A Comparative Experimental Study on Natural Organic Matter Degradation by Electrochemical Oxidation on Boron Doped Diamond and Mixed Metal Oxide Electrodes
Rathod, Shasvat (University of Waterloo, 2020-10-26)Natural organic matter (NOM) pollutants have complexified water treatment facilities and their direct methods for water disinfection. Furthermore, untreated NOM in water networks can lead to property damage in water plumbing ... -
Photocatalytic Degradation of Microcystins by TiO2 Using UV-LED Controlled Periodic Illumination
Schneider, Olivia M.; Liang, Robert; Bragg, Leslie M.; Jaciw-Zurakowsky, Ivana; Fattahi, Azar; Rathod, Shasvat; Peng, Peng; Servos, Mark. R.; Zhou, Norman Y. (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-02-14)Toxic microcystins (MCs) produced by freshwater cyanobacteria such as Microcystis aeruginosa are of concern because of their negative health and economic impacts globally. An advanced oxidation process using UV/TiO2 offers ... -
Utilizing UV-LED pulse width modulation on TiO2 advanced oxidation processes to enhance the decomposition efficiency of pharmaceutical micropollutants
Liang, Robert; Van Leuwen, Jocelyn C.; Bragg, Leslie M.; Arlos, Maricor; Li Chun Fong, Lena C. M.; Schneider, Olivia M.; Jaciw-Zurakowsky, Ivana; Fattahi, Azar; Rathod, Shasvat; Peng, Peng; Servos, Mark R.; Zhou, Norman Y. (Elsevier, 2019-04-01)The presence of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in aquatic systems has been a growing cause for concern. Advanced oxidation processes such as UV/TiO2 (ultraviolet light/titanium dioxide) can break down ...
