A Glass-Fiber-Optic Turbidity Sensor for Real-Time In Situ Water Quality Monitoring.

Turbidity is an important water quality parameter, especially for drinking water. The ability to actively monitor the turbidity level of drinking water distribution systems is of critical importance to the safety and wellbeing of the public. Traditional turbidity monitoring methods involve the manual collection of water samples at set locations and times followed by laboratory analysis, which are labor intensive and time consuming.

Inhibition of bromate formation in plasmon-enhanced catalytic ozonation over silver-doped spinel ferrite.

High energy consumption and formation of harmful byproducts are two challenges faced by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). While much research efforts have been devoted to improving the treatment efficiency, byproduct formation and control calls for more attention. In this study, the underlying mechanism of bromate formation inhibition during a novel plasmon-enhanced catalytic ozonation process with silver-doped spinel ferrite (0.

Improving Fe-based heterogeneous Electro-Fenton nano catalyst using transition metals in a novel orbiting electrodes reactor.

In recent decades the electro-Fenton process has widely been utilized for removing recalcitrant compounds. However, this process is accompanied by several problems such as limited working pH range, production of significant amount of iron sludge, and incapability in reusing used iron ions. Hence, the heterogeneous electro-Fenton process is a convenient way to address these problems.
