To Biocide or not to Biocide? Exploring the "No Biocide" Option in Spacecraft Potable Water Systems
52nd International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2023 Residual biocide has been used to protect against microbial growth in spacecraft potable water systems since the Gemini program. Iodine, the biocide currently used on the International Space Station (ISS) has a long history of use but presents a few challenges for exploration: it must be removed using a consumable absorbent before crew consumption and ...
