Abstract
A successful prevention of algae adhesion and growth using thin film photocatalysis has been demonstrated in a continuous flow bench-scale photo-catalyzed reactor. The effect of UV or BL exposure on photo-dependent denitrifying sludge (PDDS) and algae coexisting in the reactor were investigated. Even though algae adhesion could be controlled by thin film photocatalysis with UV, the negative effect on PDDS was negligible and continuous biodegradation of Acid blue 92 was significantly improved.
