Photo-electro-bio-catalytic treatment of drinking water supplies
- This proposal aims to develop a novel photo-electro-bio-catalytic (PEBCAT) reactor for the treatment of groundwater contaminated with nitrates, persistent organic pollutants, and chlorine resistant micro-organisms. The proposed tandem reactor electrochemically links the photocatalytic destruction of organic pollutants and micro-organisms, to the electro-bio-catalytic denitrification of water. A major proportion of the EC's drinking water is derived from groundwater sources and this project can make a substantial contribution to alleviating the pressures on our limited resources by allowing drinking water abstraction from contaminated sources.
