Problems solved by technology

When TiO 2 At the end of the life of the lamp when applied directly to the UV lamp TiO 2 Likely to be discarded with the lamp undesirably
In addition, when using TiO 2 When coating the inside of the reactor, if the size of the reactor is large, the coating operation is very difficult
In addition, using TiO 2 After coating, the reactor should be heat treated above 500°C, thus limiting the materials that can be used in reactor fabrication

Embodiment 1

[0080] use photocatalytic reactor to carry out the method for water disinfection

[0081] The optimum conditions for water disinfection were determined using various reactors, and the optimum conditions are as follows. Using a photocatalytic reactor 10 with a length of 720 mm and a diameter of 200 mm, a fixed TiO 2 The porous beads 11, and the ultraviolet lamp 12 emitting the maximum ultraviolet light of 39W at 254nm, add 0-75mg / L hydrogen peroxide and inject air through the air inlet pipe 30 at a rate of 30L / min to carry out water disinfection. In all experimental and comparative examples of the present invention, bacteria and fungi were allowed to grow by collecting samples at regular intervals, serially diluting the samples, spreading 100 μl of the final diluted samples on solid medium, and then counting on the medium Colonies grown to assess disinfection efficiency.

[0090] H 2 o 2 The effect of injection on the growth of E. coli

[0091] Hydrogen peroxide was added to the water in the photocatalytic reactor 10 in amounts of 10, 15, 20 and 25 mg / L, air was added at a rate of 30 L / min using the air pump 31, and the viability of Escherichia coli was evaluated for 15 minutes. The results are given in Table 4 and Figure 8 below.

[0092] The number of live E. coli

[0093] As shown in Table 4 and Figure 8, when no hydrogen peroxide was added, the initial cell number of Escherichia coli (7.3×10 3 cells / ml) decreased to 267 cells / ml and 13 cells / ml after 15 minutes, which showed a bactericidal efficiency of 96% and 99.8%, respectively. When hydrogen peroxide was added in an amount of 10 mg / L, the initial cell number of Escherichia coli (7.5×10 3 cells / ml) was reduced to 242 cells / ml, showing a bactericidal efficiency of 96.7%, slightly higher than when hydrogen peroxide was not added, and after 15min, showing a bactericidal effici...

[0095] The amount of water treated in the photocatalytic reactor 10 was doubled, while hydrogen peroxide was added in amounts of 20, 25, 30 and 50 mg / L, and air was injected at a rate of 30 L / min using an air pump 31 to evaluate the Viability 15min. The results are given in Table 5 and Figure 11 below.

Abstract

There are disclosed a method for killing of microorganisms in the water by UV-TiO2 photocatalytic reaction and a reactor for killing of microorganisms.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to water disinfection by photocatalytic reactions. More specifically, the present invention relates to a device for disinfection of water and a method of using the same to passivate or destroy microorganisms and organic matter in water, comprising adding hydrogen peroxide to polluted water, introducing the polluted water to which hydrogen peroxide has been added A photocatalytic reactor comprising porous beads immobilizing a photocatalyst, injecting air thereinto, and applying UV rays thereinto. Background technique [0002] Typically, areas with low levels of rainfall face shortages of drinking water as well as water for irrigation. Especially in South Korea, annual rainfall has recently declined, resulting in a shortage of fresh water. Most Korean farmers are using conventional irrigation systems, which are inefficient due to economic problems introduced in modern rill irrigation, which efficiently supplies w...
