Abstract
Disinfection is an essential part of the water treatment process, ensuring the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms present in aquatic systems. The inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in water was investigate after irradiating by UV-LED. When the radiation dose was 24.48 mJ/cm2, the log inactivation of E. coli was more than 4. The effects of UV-LED parameters (wavelength, UV irradiation intensity), water quality factors (temperature, pH value) were investigated on the E. coli inactivation rate. At shorter UV-LED wavelengths, E. coli inactivation increased as UVC-LED radiation intensity is stronger. Temperature, pH value of E. coli inactivated effect. The mechanism of UVC-LED inactivation of E. coli was studied by scanning electron microscopy and system soluble protein detection, showing that the UVC-LED bactericidal activity involved the destruction of E. coli nucleic acids and to a lesser degree through protein damage.
