2 Elimination in water treatment Two principal processes: Inactivation - Natural (biological) - Forced: disinfection (chemical, physical) Removal - Sieving (ultra/nanofilters) - Attachment (sand filters, soil, ceramic filters) - Flocculation + floc removal 2

3 Virus structure Virus genome (RNA, ss/ds DNA) Capsid protein Spike 3

4 Inactivation 4

5 Virus inactivation in the environment Physical Heat or thermal effects Desiccation or drying Aggregation Adsorption to particles or surfaces Encapsulation or embedding Increasing inactivation at higher temperature; pasteurize Increased inactivation at lower moisture content or relative humidity; effects of RH differ between enveloped and non-enveloped viruses Clumping protects viruses from inactivating agents Adsorption protect viruses from inactivating agents; some specific chemical surfaces (heavy metals) are virucidal Viruses within membranes or larger particles are protected from inactivation Chemical Hydrogen ions; ph Viruses survive best near neutral ph and worst at ph extremes Organic matter Many viruses are stabilized and protected by dissolved, colloidal and solid organic matter, including fecal organics and natural organic matter (humic materials) Ammonia NH 3 has virucidal activity; manifest at higher ph (>ph 8) Salts and Ionic Strength Increased concentrations of salts are antiviral; some viruses are destabilized and inactivated by water lacking stabilizing salts (such as NaCl) ions such as Mg++ Enzymes Proteases and nucleases contribute to virus inactivation Biological Microbial activity Proteolytic activity Microbial predation Biofilms Biological treatment and microbial activity/metabolism in soils, sediments, water; several contributing mechanisms Proteolytic enzymes inactivate/denature virion proteins Engulfment, ingestion, etc. by protozoa, helminths, etc. Virus adsorption to biofilms can be protective or microbial activity in biofilms can cause virus inactivation and degradation 5

6 Principles of ozone process Ozone = strong oxidator Disruption of cell wall and reaction with nucleotides/enzymes: no reproduction At room temperature: ozone in gas Dosage of gas bubbles with diffusor Disinfection: contact time T of micro-organisms with ozone concentration C CT is design parameter (mg*l -1 min -1 ) 6
