Resumen:
Availability of safe water is important for welfare and improvement of human populations, challenged by growth of demography, development, and waste. Researchers have been paying more attention to links between disease outbreaks and viral pathogens in drinking water.Adsorption processes can remove contaminants, avoiding energy consumption associated with pumping and disposal issues of concentrated streams generated. Bulk porous adsorbents, contrary to suspended colloidal particles and co-precipitation schemes, do not require extra separation stages, rendering the system safer to handle, easier to use and applicable to mobile devices.In this work, a nanostructured iron oxide ceramic filter was built and tested as adsorbent for bacteriophage P22.
