Study on Spatial Distribution of UVA Radiant Intensity for Ballast Water Treatment

Article Preview

Abstract:

UVA is seldom applied in UV inactivation or disinfection, however, it may be more suitable for underwater photo-catalysis treatment. Since the wavelength of UVA is longer than UVC, the former has higher transmission ability and encounter less disturbance of suspending substances in water. Also, the exciting wavelength of UVA is between 365nm and 413nm which coincides with the wavelength of UVA. Hence, the spatial distribution of UVA radiation is studied for a 15W UVA lamp. The decaying tendencies of UVA radiation intensity were probed over horizontal and vertical distance, behind large amounts of experimental data. Optimal radiation conditions plan to be detected based on the research to guide the UVA treatment.
