Special Issue Information
Good-quality drinking water is essential for humans and animals. Concentrations of pesticides and pharmaceuticals (PhACs) in water should be 1 µg/L or less. Pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and parasites should be removed from water in order to prevent waterborne diseases. Drinking water should have less than one pathogenic bacterium per 100 mL. The removal of pathogenic microorganisms from water has been done largely by the disinfectants chlorine, chloramines, and ozone, but disinfection by these products may pose health risks. Biocides such as quaternary ammonium cations (QACs) are efficient in the removal of bacteria. The efficient removal of microorganisms has been done by clay composites via filtration (e.g., micelle– , vesicle–, and polymer–clay composites). The removal of bacteria by filters including micelle–clay composite is promoted by the biostatic/biocidal effects of QACs released during filtration.
This Special Issue emphasizes the advantage of collaboration for the development of technologies for the tertiary treatment of wastewater.
