Graphene nanosheets (GNS) such as graphenes and graphene oxides (GOs) have been
widely investigated as next-generation adsorbents in both water and wastewater treatment …

In drinking water distribution systems (DWDS), biofilms are the predominant mode of
microbial growth, with the presence of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) protecting …

Microbial biofilms formed on the inner-pipe surfaces of drinking water distribution systems
(DWDS) can alter drinking water quality, particularly if they are mechanically detached from …

Secondary disinfectants, such as chlorine and chloramine, have been widely applied to
minimise microbial risks in drinking water during distribution. Key challenges have included …

Drinking water comprises a complex microbiota, in part shaped by the disinfection and
distribution systems. Gram-negative bacteria, mainly members of the phylum Proteobacteria …

While disinfection provides hygienically safe drinking water, the disinfectants react with
inorganic or organic precursors, leading to the formation of harmful disinfection byproducts …

Microorganisms play an important role in the degradation of pollutants. However, they also
cause problems in drinking water distribution systems, such as pipe corrosion and biofilm …

A drinking water distribution system (DWDS) is the final and essential step to supply safe
and high-quality drinking water to customers. Biological processes, such as biofilm formation …

The dynamics of bacterial and eukaryotic community associated with each step of a water
purification plant in China was investigated using 454 pyrosequencing and qPCR based …

In drinking water distribution systems (DWDS), a disinfectant residual is usually applied to
limit bacterial regrowth. However, delivering water with no or reduced chlorine residual …
