Advances in application of ultraviolet irradiation for biofilm control in water and wastewater infrastructure
See t.ly/kFaz — Biofilms are ubiquitous in aquatic environment. While so far, most of the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection studies focus on planktonic bacteria, only limited attention has been given to UV irradiation on biofilms. To enrich this knowledge, the present paper reviews the up-to-date studies about applying UV to control biofilms in water and wastewater infrastructure. The development of UV light sources from the conventional mercury lamp to the light emitting diode (LED), and the resistance mechanisms of biofilms to UV are summarized. Then the feasibility to control biofilms with UV is discussed in terms of three technical routes:…
