Ultrasonic Irradiation on Microorganism Disruption in Water Disinfection Process – A Mini Overview

Abstract:

Ultrasonic irradiation is considered as one of the methods in advanced oxidation processes for water and wastewater treatment. In general, ultrasonic is a disinfection process that is capable to destruct and disintegrate physical and chemical contaminants, as well as pathogenic microorganisms under sonochemistry method. With sufficient frequency, power, duration of treatment and initial concentration of microbe, ultrasonic application is able to perform and cause the death of microorganisms. In addition, ultrasonic as an advanced technology is sustainable to the public health and environmental quality.
