Role of UV radiation, solution conductivity and pulse repetition frequency in the bactericidal effects during pulse corona discharge in water
Špetlíková, E. ; Janda, V. ; Lukeš, Petr ; Člupek, Martin
Inactivation of bacteria Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis by the pulsed corona discharge in liquid phase has been investigated. The reactor with point to plate geometry of electrodes was used for generation of the discharge in liquid phase. The effects of the solution conductivity and the pulse repetition frequency on the bacterial inactivation have been determined. Better efficiency of inactivation was observed for both types of bacteria with the increasing solution conductivity and the pulse repetition frequency since E. faecalis was more sensitive to these changes then E. coli. The role of UV radiation emitted by the electrical discharge in the overall bacterial efficiency was evaluated in dependence on the solution conductivity using UV light transparent spectrometric cell. It was determined that UV radiation contributes about 40% to the overall inactivation of bacteria by the discharge.
