3 1. What is ultraviolet? A general term for the electromagnetic wave (spectrum) between X-ray and visible light nm (1nm = 0.001µ) Characteristics of electromagnetic waves are different depending on the wavelength. Name Spectrum Applications/Characteristics X-ray ~ 1nm X-ray examination Ultraviolet 1 ~ 400nm Disinfection / Photochemical reaction Visible light 400~800nm Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow ~ Red Infrared / Microwave 1um ~ Several cm Heating Radio wave Several m - km Radio / TV X-ray Ultraviolet Visible light Infrared Microwave (nm) 3

4 2. Mechanism of inactivation by ultraviolet Ultraviolet Nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) Blueprint of life-form Damage (Destruction/Alteration) Inactivation (No reproduction) The reproduction of DNA will be prevented by ultraviolet radiation that causes the dimerization of DNA base (ex. Thymine dimer). DNA array DNA UV T-T (Thymine-Thymine) DNA base Thymine dimer (6-4) 4

5 2. Comparison of inactivation methods Chlorine / Ozone Breaks the cell membrane Heat Transforms the protein of the cytoplasm Ultraviolet - Destructs the DNA inside the cell No UV-resistant bacteria is confirmed so far Very effective for heat-resistant bacteria/viruses Especially lethal for inactivation of cryptosporidium Heat Chlorine, Ozone DNA Bacterium Ultraviolet 5

6 2. Benefits of UV Sterilization 1) No harmful byproduct For example, Chlorine is toxic itself and may produce unwanted byproducts, which can be harmful to human bodies. Meanwhile, ultraviolet does not change the quality of water and leaves no toxic chemical residue in the water to be processed (No change in ph, flavor, or taste). Also, no trihalomethan will be produced if UV is used to disinfect the water Friendly to environment 2) Lethal to any microorganism 3) Easy installation, operation and maintenance 4) Economically superior 6

7 2. Required UV dose for various microorganisms Type of Microorganism Required UV dose for 3log Inactivation (mj/cm 2 ) Escherichia coli 10 Escherichia coli (O-157) 4 Legionella pneumophila 4 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 3~4 Germs Salmonella typhimurium 15 Staphylococcus aureus 9 Enterococcus faecalis 10 Bacillus subtilis 8 Bacillus subtilis 43 Fungi Aspergillus niger 568 Protozoa Cryptosporidium parvum 1~2 *Required UV dose will vary depending on the target microorganism to inactivate. 7

8 3. Mechanism of UV-AOP (1) *Highly oxidative hydroxyl radicals ( OH ) are generated by irradiating deep UV light to decompose water. CH3OH (Methanol) HCHO(Formaldehyde) HCOOH(Formic acid) CO2 + H2O UV(184.9nm) H2O OH OH OH OH *Eventually decomposed to carbon dioxide and water *Organic matters to be decomposed by generated OH 8

9 3. Mechanism of UV-AOP (2) 120 kcal /mol 83 kcal /mol 99 kcal /mol 73 kcal /mol 84 kcal /mol 111 kcal /mol 93 kcal /mol OH C-H bond C-N bond C-O bond N-H bond C-C bond O-H bond Chemical bonds of organic matters (such as above) will be ruptured due to the higher energy of OH 9

10 4. Basic Structure of UV- AOP Systems Effluent UV Irradiation Unit * Large amount of hydroxyl radicals ( OH ) with strong oxidizing effect by irradiating UV to oxidizing agents such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide, etc.). * Higher concentration of organic matters can be decomposed than oxidation of organic matters by 184.9nm UV. Ozonizer Injection of O3 Ejector Feed 10
