A series of bench-scale experiments were conducted on ceramic filters with various amounts of silver and/or copper nanoparticles fired-in during the manufacturing process. The experiments were designed to determine the efficacy of the filters on the removal of pathogens from drinking water. Escherichia coli and MS2 were employed as non-pathogenic surrogates for pathogenic organisms. ...
Limited data demonstrate PointONE™ microbiological laboratory efficacy and short-term diarrheal disease reduction among users, but household microbiological data is lacking. To compare laboratory and household PointONE™ filter microbiological performance, we enumerated Escherichia coli (E. coli) and total coliforms in source and ...
Locally manufactured ceramic water filters are one effective household drinking water treatment technology. During manufacturing, silver nanoparticles or silver nitrate are applied to prevent microbiological growth within the filter and increase bacterial removal efficacy. Currently, there is no recommendation for manufacturers to test silver ...
Promising adaptation options include modifying chemical parameters (e.g., types of chemicals, dosages, sequence of chemical addition, mixing intensity and duration), filter operations, and microbiological augmentation of existing physical/chemical treatment systems. ...
Results showed that there was a significant improvement in the microbiological quality of filtered water when the pause time was increased from 12 to 36 h, while it deteriorated as charge volume was increased from 10 to 30 L. The effluent microbiological quality was unaffected by changes in the influent turbidity in the range of 10–50 NTU. ...
Kinetico’s filtration systems protect against microbiologic and inorganic contaminants thatcan be harmful to one’s health. ...
This paper comparatively assessed the effectiveness of potable water filtration methods, commonly used in the hinterlands in some Ghanaian communities. Physico-chemical and microbiological analysis were carried out on pond, dam and river water samples, using spectrophotometric, pour plate count and the most probable number (MPN) methods. ...
Filtration processes are a large cost component of pharmaceutical manufacture. The particle retention efficiency, particle capacity of the filter and the liquid flux all impact on product cost. A non woven electropositive filler media has been developed whose active component is an alumina (AlOOH) fiber two nanometers in diameter and having a surface area of 350-500 m7g. The nano fibers are ...
For over 200 years, slow sand filtration (SSF) has been an effective means of treating water for the control of microbiological contaminants in both small and large community water supplies. However, such systems lost popularity to rapid sand filters mainly due to smaller land requirements and less sensitivity to water quality variations. ...
A study was developed to evaluate POU BioSand and ceramic filters in terms of microbiological and chemical quality of the treated water. The following parameters were monitored on filters in rural Cambodia over a six-month period: iron, manganese, fluoride, nitrate, nitrite and Escherichia coli. The results revealed that these technologies are ...
