“…It has been highly praised by relevant departments and researchers (Khatiwada and Polprasert, 1999;Korovessis and Lekkas, 2009;Alvarez et al, 2017;Mishra et al, 2018;Casierra-Martinez et al, 2020). Solar constructed wetland has the potential to detoxify wastewater containing pesticides effectively, and producing a purified effluent which could be exploited for reuse (Berberidou et al, 2017). Solar radiation plays a critical role in the removement of coliform populations, maximum removal of coliforms was obtained under conditions of high temperature and solar radiation (Zdragas et al, 2002).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination in drinking water samples collected from a number of rural habitations of Zhangye City, Northwest China. A total of 37 villages along the Heihe River in Zhangye City were selected. The presence of E. coli was tested for using the MicroSnap TM E. coli Test Kit, which is a rapid bioluminogenic method for detection and enumeration of E. coli bacteria. Test results demonstrated that drinking water in 81.1% of the villages was contaminated with E. coli according to the Chinese Sanitary Standards for Domestic and Drinking Water. Majority of the higher E. coli CFU values were tested from villages located in the urban areas in Zhangye City. The data suggested that contamination of the drinking water in the rural habitations of Zhangye City was related to animal husbandry practices. In addition, the interactions of surface and groundwaters is not direct causes of the E. coli contamination found in Zhangye City. The occurrence of E. coli in drinking water may increase the risk of water-related diseases and health problems in local residents. It is therefore strongly recommended that solar energy technology be taken to protect water resources from contamination.

“…Pesticides and dyes represent two important categories of organic compounds affecting the water properties and consequently the life quality. The water contamination with dyes substances such as tartrazine (Tr) have raised human health issues and this molecule is characterized by strong chemical stability toward traditional wastewater treatment processes due to the aromatic structure [ 48 , 49 ]. The acetamiprid pesticide is considered harmful due to the high toxicity (especially at high concentrations), high accumulation rate, and possible carcinogenic effect induced by their non-biodegradable aromatic structure [ 50 , 51 ].…”

The photocatalyst materials correlation with the radiation scenario and pollutant molecules can have a significant influence on the overall photocatalytic efficiency. This work aims to outline the significance of optimizing the components mass ratio into a tandem structure in order to increase the photocatalytic activity toward pollutant removal. ZnO_SnO2 and TiO2_SnO2 tandem structures were obtained by the doctor blade technique using different mass ratios between the components. The samples contain metal oxides with crystalline structures and the morphology is influenced by the main component. The photocatalytic activity was tested using three radiation scenarios (UV, UV-Vis, and Vis) and two pollutant molecules (tartrazine and acetamiprid). The results indicate that the photocatalytic activity of the tandem structures is influenced by the radiation wavelength and pollutant molecule. The TiO2_SnO2 exhibit 90% photocatalytic efficiency under UV radiation in the presence of tartrazine, while ZnO_SnO2 exhibit 73% photocatalytic efficiency in the same experimental conditions. The kinetic evaluation indicate that ZnO_SnO2 (2:1) have a higher reaction rate comparing with TiO2_SnO2 (1:2) under UV radiation in the presence of acetamiprid.
