THE EFFECTIVENESS OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT METHODS FROM MICROORGANISMS
Keywords:
Wastewater, microorganisms, disinfection, chlorination, UV disinfection, ozonation, biological treatmentAbstract
This article analyzes the effectiveness of various wastewater treatment methods in removing or inactivating microorganisms. It examines conventional techniques such as chlorination, as well as advanced methods including ultraviolet (UV) disinfection, ozonation, and biological treatment. The study evaluates the efficiency, advantages, and limitations of each method, and emphasizes the importance of combining treatments and monitoring water quality to ensure safe water reuse and environmental protection.
