Monoprotonated Rose Bengal: A High-Efficiency Solar Disinfectant for Rapid Escherichia coli Inactivation in Drinking Water
Powerful, portable, and affordable point-of-use water disinfection technologies are urgently needed in impoverished rural areas and trips. In this study, we first revealed the outstanding inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) by monoprotonated Rose Bengal (RB) and developed a promising new water disinfectant based on this principle. A decrease in pH dramatically enhanced the inactivation capability of RB against E. coli (up to 2744-fold), which was attributed to the protonation process rather than changes in 1O2 concentration. A distinctive bell-shaped curve was established between inactivation rate constant (k) and pH, explained by the fact that only monoprotonated RB among the three protonation states exhibited bactericidal activity. A linear relationship between monoprotonated RB and k was also established. Given that RB shows high cost-effectiveness for water disinfection and good tolerance to natural organic matter and organic acid anions, we developed a novel disinfectant powder to enhance outdoor solar disinfection, achieving disinfection within 30 min in surface water samples. The newly developed solar photosensitization disinfectant is anticipated to significantly improve the drinking water safety in rural areas and during travel expeditions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hazardous Materials serves as a global platform for promoting cutting-edge research in the field of Environmental Science and Engineering. Our publication features a wide range of articles, including full-length research papers, review articles, and perspectives, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of the dangers and risks associated with various materials concerning public health and the environment. It is important to note that the term "environmental contaminants" refers specifically to substances that pose hazardous effects through contamination, while excluding those that do not have such impacts on the environment or human health. Moreover, we emphasize the distinction between wastes and hazardous materials in order to provide further clarity on the scope of the journal. We have a keen interest in exploring specific compounds and microbial agents that have adverse effects on the environment.
