Abstract:UDC 535.36We have used integrating-sphere UV spectroscopy to study scattering of radiation from an XeBr exciplex lamp (282 nm) by nanoparticles of a photocatalyst (TiO 2 ) and Escherichia coli CN13 cells. We have demonstrated that we must take into account scattered radiation in calculating the UV doses for disinfection of water in the presence of suspended TiO 2 particles. We have established that using the absorption intensities for the water to be disinfected in the dose calculation, obtained without taking… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
