Journal ArticleDOI
Bactericidal Effect of Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles on Escherichia coli
TL;DR: The bactericidal effect of nano-Fe0 was a unique property of nano -Fe0, which was not observed in other types of iron-based compounds, which may have caused the inactivation or enhanced the biocidal effects of dissolved iron.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic Graphene Oxide Leaf for Solar Desalination with Zero Liquid Discharge
TL;DR: The robust high performance and relatively low fabrication cost of the synthetic GO leaf could potentially unlock a new generation of desalination technology that can be entirely solar-powered and achieve zero liquid discharge.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a pipeline for single nucleotide variant calling in a metagenomic context, characterized minor SARS-CoV-2 alleles in the wastewater and detected viral genotypes which were also found within clinical genomes throughout California.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sunlight-Mediated Inactivation of MS2 Coliphage via Exogenous Singlet Oxygen Produced by Sensitizers in Natural Waters
Tamar Kohn,Kara L. Nelson +1 more
TL;DR: In the WSP water, the indirect process was quantitatively more important than direct damage by UVB light, due to the rapid attenuation of UVB compared to the longer wavelengths that may initiate the indirect mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid life-cycle environmental and cost inventory of sewage sludge treatment and end-use scenarios: a case study from China.
TL;DR: This study evaluated an array of productive end-use options for treated sewage sludge, such as fertilizer and as an input into construction materials, to determine how the sustainability of traditional manufacturing processes changes with sludge as a replacement for other raw inputs.
