A Brief Talk of the Disinfection Process for Reclaimed Water

Abstract

In recent years, with the reclaimed water being more and more widely used, people begin to pay more and more attention to the security of it. Because the reclaimed water comes from the sewage, which has been deeply treated, its quality is quite complex and it may contain many bacteria, viruses and poisonous that are harm to people. When it’s reused, it is inevitable that the reclaimed water may come into contact with people’s body, which has exposure risk. In order to reduce the risk of exposure, ensure the security of the quality of the reclaimed water, the disinfection becomes the most critical factors in dealing with the reclaimed water in the process. In the paper, the current disinfection techniques were discussed and compared in the aspects of technical features, the effects of disinfection and economy. And a brief summary of the new disinfection technology that was widely studied was made.
