Improving Carbon‐Coated TiO2 Films with a TiCl4 Treatment for Photocatalytic Water Purification

“…To determine the relationship between UV‐A light intensity and efficiency of photocatalytic inactivation, the disinfection kinetic constants were calculated by using the classic disinfection model of Chick–Watson equation [Eq. ], shown as follows: …”

Visible-light-driven photocatalytic inactivation of E. coli by Ag/AgX-CNTs (X=Cl, Br, I) plasmonic photocatalysts: Bacterial performance and deactivation mechanism

“…This model can be solved using Microsoft Excel tool called GInaFIT [35]. Using this tool, three parameters that represent three steps can be obtained.…”

Comparative study on the photoelectrocatalytic inactivation of Escherichia coli K-12 and its mutant Escherichia coli BW25113 using TiO2 nanotubes as a photoanode

“…At this stage, bacterial population is almost consistently stable. Various RSs begin to attack the bacteria, but they are insufficient to cause remarkable bacterial death; (ii) the second period is the main part of inactivation called the loglinear inactivation region caused by the fast bacterial inactivation as a consequence of the accumulative bacterial damages, leading to instant death; (iii) the last period is the "tail" region in which a deceleration occurs for the competition between the bacteria and organic by-products produced from bacterial decomposition [47]. In this work, the PEC-Cl inactivation kinetic parameters of both strains were also fitted using a modified Hom model via Microsoft Excel tool called GInaFIT (Table 1).…”

“…This may be attributed to the change of certain components in the mutant, which is susceptible to RSs produced in PEC-Cl with the addition of high NaCl concentration. The inactivation kinetic curves of bacteria can generally be divided into three regions according to the modified Hom model [47]: (i) an initial smooth decay period known as "shoulder" at the beginning period of the reaction. At this stage, bacterial population is almost consistently stable.…”
