A pilot-scale microwave technology for sludge sanitization and drying
Large volumes of sludge are produced from onsite sanitation systems in densely populated areas (e.g. slums and emergency settlements) and wastewater treatment facilities that contain high amounts of pathogens. There is a need for technological options which can effectively treat the rapidly accumulating sludge under these conditions. This study explored a pilot-scale microwave (MW) based reacto...
متن کاملA comparative study of infrared and microwave heating for microbial decontamination of paprika powder
There is currently a need in developing new decontamination technologies for spices due to limitations of existing technologies, mainly regarding their effects on spices' sensory quality. In the search of new decontamination solutions, it is of interest to compare different technologies, to provide the industry with knowledge for taking decisions concerning appropriate decontamination technolog...
متن کاملAPPLICATION OF MICROWAVE IRRADIATION TECHNIQUES FOR THE WITTING REACTION
The Wittig reaction rate can be dramatically enhanced by irradiation of the reaction mixture containing an aldehyde or ketone; methoxymethyl(triphenyl)phosphonium chloride, potassium t-butoxide, and t BuOH with a commercial microwave oven. Carbonyl compound are converted to Witting products within three min. in good yields.
متن کاملEvaluation of a low-intensity ultraviolet-C radiation device for decontamination of computer keyboards.
Computer keyboards are a potential source for dissemination of pathogenic microorganisms. We demonstrated that a low-intensity ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation device was effective in reducing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli, and Clostridium difficile spores on steel carriers and significantly reduced bacterial counts on in-use keyboards.
متن کاملEvaluation of Microwave Steam Bags for the Decontamination of Filtering Facepiece Respirators
Reusing filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) has been suggested as a strategy to conserve available supplies for home and healthcare environments during an influenza pandemic. For reuse to be possible, used FFRs must be decontaminated before redonning to reduce the risk of virus transmission; however, there are no approved methods for FFR decontamination. An effective method must reduce the m...
