Photocatalysis with easily recoverable linear engineered TiO2 nanomaterials to prevent the formation of disinfection byproducts in drinking water

Two photocatalytic linear engineered TiO2 nanomaterials (LENs) were synthesized and evaluated against commercial standard P25 TiO2 nanoparticles in terms of their effects on common parameters used to measure and characterize natural organic matter (NOM) and disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursors in drinking water. DBPs, some of which have been linked to cancer and other negative human health outcomes, are regulated in most jurisdictions in …
