Abstract:
... Biofilm formation in processing equipment can lead to higher costs due to more frequent cleaning events as well as the contamination of processed foods and is a concerning issue. It is necessary to establish new methods for the detection of biofilms formation on surfaces. The use of electrochemical microsensors for biofilm detection could be a strategy for real time biofilm control in processing e ...

Abstract:
... Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are an attractive method to decompose dye-containing wastewaters, because they avoid issues of secondary pollution. In particular, a vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) process is the simplest method, because an oxidation accelerator or a catalyst is not required. Conventional VUV sources with wavelengths of 185 nm or 172 nm have been used. We predicted that a shorter wave ...
