Abstract

Photocatalytic disinfection of Escherichia coli was assessed. Removal of natural organic matter by advanced oxidation processes more specifically photocatalysis was considered. Application of first-, second- as well as third-generation photocatalysts was evaluated. Photocatalytic degradation process was evaluated for drinking water quality aspects.
