Decoupling locally enhanced electric field treatment (LEEFT) intensity and copper release by applying asymmetric electric pulses for water disinfection
Copper has well-known anti-microbial properties but is typically not considered for drinking water disinfection because of its health risk to human at efficient biocidal concentrations. Locally enhanced electric field treatment (LEEFT) is a cutting-edge technique that aims to inactivate bacteria by generating aqueous pores on the cell membrane through the application of a strong electric field. LEEFT can also increase the permeability of the cell membrane, which promotes the uptake of chemical disinfectants to reduce the required biocidal concentrations. Previously, a coaxial-electrode copper ionization cell (CECIC) was developed to combine copper disinfection with LEEFT, demonstrating superior disinfection efficiency with low effluent copper concentrations (
