Assessment of oxidative and UV-C treatments for inactivating bacterial biofilms from groundwater wells

Microorganisms are ubiquitous in natural environments and in water supply infrastructure including groundwater wells. Sessile-state microorganisms may build up on well surfaces as biofilms and, if excessive, cause biofouling that reduces well productivity and water quality. Conditions can be improved using biocides and other traditional well rehabilitation measures; however, biofilm regrowth is inevitable given the continuous introduction of microorganisms from the surrounding environment. Alternative and less invasive well maintenance approaches are desirable for reducing biofilm densities while also minimizing harmful disinfection-by-products. The primary objective of this research was to evaluate effectiveness of alternative treatments for inactivating microorganisms comprising biofilms. A novel approach was designed for in situ growth of biofilms on steel coupons suspended from ‘chandeliers’. After more than 100 days of in situ growth, biofilms were harvested, sampled, and baseline biofilm densities quantified through cultivation. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) and oxidative treatments including hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), ozone (O₃) and mixed oxidants were then applied to the biofilms in laboratory-scale treatments. Microbial inactivation was assessed by comparing treated versus baseline biofilm densities. H₂O₂ was the most effective treatment, and decreased density below baseline by as much as 3.1 orders of magnitude. Mixed oxidants were effective for the well having a lower density biofilm, decreasing density below baseline by as much as 1.4 orders of magnitude. Disparity in the response to treatment was apparent in the wells despite their spatial proximity and common aquifer source, which suggests that microbiological communities are more heterogeneous than the natural media from which they originate.

The influence of ClO− and acidity in the reaction between H2O2 and CuCl2

The potentially explosive reaction of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and copper chloride (CuCl₂) was investigated. Pressure tests revealed that the reaction was strongly temperature - dependent and can easily undergo runaway reaction. Nevertheless, there was only a slight pressure increase at the low temperatures studied or when using low concentrations of CuCl₂. Under the conditions generating the slight pressure increase, hypochlorite anions (ClO⁻) are generated and the acidity increases. As the reaction reaches completion, ClO⁻ disappears, and the acidity decreases. Interestingly, the addition of phosphate buffer to maintain the weakly acid conditions led to a runaway reaction, and the use of basic ClO⁻ promoted the exothermic reaction. Based on the results, acidity has a strong impact on the reaction behaviour.

腐殖质及其模型化合物的H2O2光化学生成研究

在模拟太阳光下研究了多种腐殖质及其模型化合物的过氧化氢（H₂O₂）生成动力学,并对其生成机制进行了探讨.结果表明不同来源或不同形式的腐殖质在模拟太阳光照射下均能产生H₂O₂.不同腐殖质生成H₂O₂速率差异不大,范围为6.379~15.784nmol/（L·min）,腐殖酸生成H₂O₂速率略快于富里酸.对于腐殖质模型化合物,邻苯二酚、间苯二酚、对苯二酚、苯醌、邻茴香胺、对茴香胺、水杨酸和2,6-二甲氧基-1,4-苯醌等8种模型化合物没有产生明显的H₂O₂,而藜芦醇、对氨基苯甲酸、3,5-二羟基苯甲酸（DHBA）、2,5-二羟基-1,4-苯醌、苯酚、苯甲酸和苯胺等7种化合物均可检测到H₂O₂产生.但其产生H₂O₂的速率差异较大,相差1~2个数量级,生成H₂O₂速率最快的化合物为2,5-二羟基-1,4-苯醌和DHBA,较慢的为苯酚、苯甲酸和对氨基苯甲酸.基于腐殖质生成H₂O₂机制,推测典型模型化合物DHBA的H₂O₂生成机制可能为光照条件下该化合物跃迁为单重激发态,该激发态发生分子内电子转移,生成还原性自由基中间体,该中间体和O₂反应,生成了超氧负离子（O₂·^-）,随后与水中H⁺反应生成了H₂O₂.
