this work investigates the use of fenton’s process (ph 5.5 and 6; 0.10-0.50 mm fe(ii); molarratios fe(ii) to h2o2 of 1:5-1:20) combined with flocculation for the treatment of groundwater which is richin natural organic matter (nom) (10.6±0.37 mg c/l) and arsenic (110±6.7 μg/l). changes to the character ofthe residual nom fractions were followed, as well as the removal efficiencies of nom and ar...

Inspired by the UV disinfection processes in food and water treatment industry, we design a Luenberger observer which works at the boundary of the infinite dimensional bilinear system. Existence of a solution, stability and some observer design issues are shown. Simulations of a disinfection process and its observer illustrate the results. Copyright IFAC c ©2007

The role of disinfection in infection prevention has been analyzed over the past 50 years both in the form of benefit-risk evaluations as well as in an epidemiological sense. This has served as the basis for not only national and international guidelines and recommendations, but has also created the legal and normative framework for regulation of infection control (and hence of disinfection) in...

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of surgical hand rubbing (SHR) with the efficacy of surgical hand scrubbing (SHS), and to determine the costs of both techniques for surgical hand disinfection. A review of studies reported in the literature that compared the efficacy of SHS and SHR was performed using MEDLINE. The costs of SHR and SHS were estimated based on standard hospital c...

background: tremendous amount of researches have investigated the issue of water photodisnfection. the aim of this research is to illustrate the influences of bacterial density, turbidity, exposure time and potassium persulfate (kps) dosage on the efficacy of associated solar disinfection (sodis) with kps for e. coli (atcc: 25922) eradication as an efficient and inexpensive process. methods: de...
