Characterizing disinfection by-product formation by a new advanced oxidation system for water purification

Biolargo一直在开发一种用于水消毒的新型电化学技术，称为高级 ** 氧化系统（AOS）。AOS的包装材料是过去四年来石墨烯基电极不断发展的结果。消毒过程用于有效控制 ** 微生物病原体（及其高健康风险）。然而，这些处理方法带来了无意的 ** 后果：它们与自然和人为成分发生反应，可能形成消毒副产品 **（DBPs），长期接触会造成潜在的健康问题。AOS产生的碘基氧化剂可能导致碘化DBP的形成。然而，碘化 ** 消毒副产物的形成或降解仍然在很大程度上未知。工艺优化以及设备设计和材料的改进 ** 需要增加有关碘化消毒副产物形成的知识。本研究项目将评估经 ** AOS处理的纯净和环境相关沃茨产生的目标和非目标消毒副产物的 ** 形成情况。这一举措的实施将帮助一家加拿大初创公司开发用于 ** 水净化的关键技术，为Biolargo提供市场竞争优势，为 ** 加拿大经济做出积极贡献。

Biolargo has been developing a novel electrochemical technology for water disinfection, termed advanced**oxidation system (AOS). The packing material of the AOS is the result of continuous development of the**graphene-based electrodes over the last four years. Disinfection processes are used to effectively control**microbial pathogens (and their high health risks). However, these treatment methods carry unintentional**consequences: they react with natural and anthropogenic constituents to possibly form disinfection by-products**(DBPs) that pose a potential health problem caused by long-term exposure. Iodine-based oxidants produced by**the AOS may lead to the formation of iodinated DBPs. However, the formation or degradation of iodinated**DBPs remains largely unknown. Process optimization and improvement of equipment design and materials**require increased knowledge on the formation of iodinated DBPs. This research project will evaluate the**formation of target and untargeted DBPs produced from pure and environmentally relevant waters treated by**the AOS. The pursuit of this initiative will help a Canadian start-up company to develop critical technology for**water purification providing Biolargo a competitive edge in the market that will positively contribute to the**Canadian economy.
