Solar Nano-photocatalytic Disinfection and Mineralization of Treated Wastewater from Sewage Treatment Plants

由于水资源的减少，污水处理厂(STP)处理过的废水的再利用在澳大利亚变得非常重要。废水的劣质限制了其在农业和水产养殖中的使用。本项目旨在开发一种太阳能纳米光催化三级废水处理工艺，用于对STP处理后的废水进行消毒和矿化，使其适合作为水资源。新开发的纳米纤维催化剂和光催化技术将在这一新工艺中得到应用和进一步发展。这项研究将集中在技术可靠性、经济和环境可持续性方面的水质目标。

Reuse of the treated wastewater from sewage treatment plants (STPs) has become significantly important in Australia due to dwindling water resources. The poor quality of the wastewater has limited its use for agriculture and aquaculture. This project aims to develop a solar nano-photocatalytic tertiary wastewater treatment process for disinfection and mineralization of the treated wastewater from STPs, making the wastewater suitable as a water resource. The newly developed nano-fibre catalysts and photocatalytic technology in the teatm will be used and further developed in this novel process. The research will focus on the water quality objectives in terms of technical reliability, and economic and environmental sustainability.
