MITIGATION OF IRRIGATION WATER USING ZERO-VALENT IRON TREATMENT

摘要

In one embodiment, this invention relates to a treatment for irrigation water by removing microbiological impurities and DBP precursors, utilizing filtration media comprising zero-valent metal to retain and inactivate microbiological agents such as viruses and bacteria such as Escherichia coli. One of the objectives of the present invention is to remove microbiological agents such as E.coli O157:H7 and Salmonella from irrigation water.
