Abstract Household water treatment (HWT) technologies are a promising strategy for addressing the waterborne diseases burden. However, in order to be efficient, these are often limited to water quality and require it to not exceed a certain threshold of physicochemical and microbiological contamination. Additionally, some popular HWTs, as chlorination, are related to by-product formation. Preoxidation may improve source water quality, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an oxidant that has not been deeply explored in this specific application, so it could be an innovative approach to HWTs. We investigated effects of H2O2 preoxidation in two natural source waters (surface and groundwater), spiked with a high level of microorganisms. Clarification results suggested this pretreatment may improve life of HWTs. Reduction in microbial load of groundwater was considered ineffective, but 5-min H2O2 preoxidation at 15 mg L−1 led to >4.0 log10 inactivation of Phi X174 coliphage and >3.0 of Escherichia coli in surface water. We believe this performance was increased due to the presence of catalysts in the river water. This raised the point that water quality may be not only impairing, but potentially beneficial to the main HWT and characterization is crucial prior to the implementation of any technologies.

In this study, surface water was used to evaluate the impact of disinfection processes (chlorination, chloramination, ozonation, UV irradiation and hydrogen peroxide) on biofilm formation in potable water distribution systems. Biofilm formation was obvious, even in the presence of residual disinfectant concentrations (16.5 mgl−1 hydrogen peroxide, 1 mg−1 monochloramine, 0.2 mgl−1 free chlorine) within the first day after disinfection in the laboratory scale unit. The yield in viable count was higher on stainless steel coupons than on cement coupons within the first 8 days. Viable bacteria numbers on cement coupons were similar (±2 log cfu.cm−2) in chlorinated, ozonated and in the control. Biofilm formation was related to the depletion of residual disinfectant concentration. Monochloramine and hydrogen peroxide had a longer residual effect controlling growth of biofilm cells in the system for a longer period before regrowth occurred. Once no residual concentrations could be detected there was no significant difference between the viable bacterial counts on any of the coupons in the various systems.

Along with rapid social development, the use of insecticides and caffeine-containing products increases, a trend that is also reflected in the composition of surface waters. This study is focused on the phototreatment of a surface water containing three neonicotinoids (imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, and clothianidin) and caffeine. Firstly, the radiation absorption of the target pollutants and the effect of the water matrix components were evaluated. It was observed that the maximum absorption peaks appear at wavelengths ranging from 246 to 274 nm, and that the water matrix did not affect the efficiency of the removal of the target pollutants. It was found that the insecticides were efficiently removed after a very short exposure to UV irradiation, while the addition of hydrogen peroxide was needed for an efficient caffeine depletion. The electrical energy per order was estimated, being the lowest energy required (9.5 kWh m−3 order−1) for the depletion of thiamethoxan by indirect photolysis, and a concentration of hydrogen peroxide of 5 mg dm−3. Finally, a preliminary evaluation on the formation of by-products reveals that these compounds play a key role in the evolution of the ecotoxicity of the samples, and that the application of direct photolysis reduces the concentration of these intermediates.

Surface water was halogenated by the addition of: (i) chloroperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide and chloride; (ii) hydrogen peroxide and chloride or bromide; (iii) hypochlorite. Analysis of adsorbable organic halogen (AOX), halogenated phenols and purgeable organic compounds showed that reactions (i) and (ii) produced almost the same halogenated compounds. It was also shown that active chlorine occurred as an intermedi-ate in reaction (i). Reaction (ii) implied a marked halogenation only after the addition of bromide, and this reaction was enhanced by a low pH. Existing evidence that 2,4,6-trichlorophenol may be naturally produced was strengthened. Some evidence was also obtained indicating that enzyme-mediated reactions may contribute to the natural formation of dibenzo-p-dioxins.
