The Case for LED-UVC as a Primary Disinfectant for Small Sustainable Drinking Water Systems [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
High loads of natural organic matter (NOM) in source water increase levels of toxic byproducts during disinfection, including trihalomethanes (THMs) which are formed when NOM is chlorinated.

Chlorine dioxine DBPs (disinfection by-products) in drinking water

Journal of Biological Research, 2013
Since the 1970s it has been well known that, though water for human consumption is generally disinfected before being distributed along the network, the use of chemicals results in the formation of many different Disinfection By-Products (DBPs).

Immunomodulatory, Antibacterial, Antioxidative and EGF‐Delivering Hydrogel Remodels Wound Microenvironment for Infected Diabetic Wound Healing

National Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we engineered an antibacterial, antioxidative and epidermal grow factor‐encapsulated multifunctional hydrogel for the repair of chronic and refractory wounds. The hydrogel markedly promoted wound healing in rat models of diabetic foot ulcers and infected wounds by modulating wound microenvironment.

Mixed TiO2–SiO2 thin coatings for selective adsorption and sunlight‐powered photodegradation of cationic pollutants

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental pollution and water scarcity demand innovative purification methods. This study presents a sol‐gel approach to fabricate mixed silica–titania thin films joining photocatalytic activity with selective sorption capability. The films exhibit higher surface area, enhanced degradation of cationic and improved performance over bare titania ...
