Electrochemical Inactivation of P. Aeruginosa, A. hydrophila, L. pneumophila using Boron Doped Diamond Anodes Academic Article

abstract

• AbstractPseudomonas Aeruginosa, Aeromonas hydrophila, Legionella pneumophila bacteria are waterborne pathogens commonly found in water and linked to infectious diseases. Especially, they can survive and colonize water systems, particularly in worm water system. On-site supplemental disinfection of water systems might be one of the approaches to prevent water born diseases. In this work, the inactivation of these waterborne pathogens using a single compartment electrochemical flow cell equipped with Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) anode and Titanium cathode was investigated. The bactericidal activity of galvanostatic electrolysis using BDD anode was evaluated on synthetic contaminated waters containing P. Aeruginosa, A. hydrophila, L. pneumophila.
