Journal ArticleDOI
Peracetic acid disinfection: a feasible alternative to wastewater chlorination.
TL;DR: The paper summarizes the results of a bench-scale study to evaluate the feasibility of using peracetic acid (PAA) as a substitute for sodium hypochlorite both for discharge into surface water and for agricultural reuse, finding the S-model better explains the initial resistance of E. coli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wastewater disinfection alternatives: chlorine, ozone, peracetic acid, and UV light.
TL;DR: At similar doses, NaOCl was more effective than PAA, and its action was less affected by contact time, while total heterotrophic bacteria appeared to be too wide a group to be a good disinfection indicator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic resistant bacteria in urban sewage: Role of full-scale wastewater treatment plants on environmental spreading
TL;DR: The biological treatment and sand filtration led to a decrease in the maximum percentage of ampicillin-resistant bacteria, however, the conventionally adopted parameters did not seem adequate to support an interpretation of WWTP role in ARB spread.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary Effluent Disinfection: PAA Long Term Efficiency
TL;DR: PAA was found to be an efficient disinfecting agent, not only as a bacteriostatic, but also as an bactericide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (QACs) as single compounds and mixtures to aquatic non-target microorganisms: Experimental data and predictive models
TL;DR: The analysis of aquatic ecotoxicity data and the few available values of the measured environmental concentrations (MECs) from the literature for wastewaters and receiving waterbodies suggest that a potential risk toward aquatic life cannot be excluded.
