Abstract
Viruses in wastewater effluent pose significant public health risks, and achieving high log reduction values is critical for wastewater reuse applications. The influence of ionic surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and benzyldimethyldodecylammonium chloride (BAC) in wastewater on virus removal and infectivity after microfiltration (200 nm cutoff) was investigated. Microfiltration log rejection values (LRVs) for infective human adenovirus (ADV, nonenveloped, 90-nm diameter) and mouse hepatitis virus (MHV, enveloped, 80- to 120-nm diameter) increased when surfactants were present in wastewater from 4.3 to 6.8-7.1 and from 4.8 to 4.9-5.1 LRV for ADV and MHV, respectively. Lower LRVs were found when using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) than by TCID50/mL infectives for both viruses, specifically from 1.4 to 3.4 for ADV and MHV, respectively. SEM-EDS confirmed aggregated virus and surfactant sorption on the membrane. This work advanced understanding of microfiltration virus log reduction influenced by surfactants and is applicable to wastewater reuse.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1928, Water Environment Research (WER) is an international multidisciplinary water resource management journal for the dissemination of fundamental and applied research in all scientific and technical areas related to water quality and resource recovery. WER''s goal is to foster communication and interdisciplinary research between water sciences and related fields such as environmental toxicology, agriculture, public and occupational health, microbiology, and ecology. In addition to original research articles, short communications, case studies, reviews, and perspectives are encouraged.
