Claims12
A device for disinfecting and treating water by oxidation, using a gas stream containing activated oxygen, comprising a reactor having a reactor chamber and a gas inlet and a gas outlet and a vacuum UV radiation source located therein, wherein the surface of the reactor chamber at least partially comprises a catalytically active material, made of transition metals of the Periodic Table of Elements, for generating reactive oxygen species.
A method for disinfection and treatment of water by oxidation, using an activated oxygen-containing gas stream in a reactor having a reactor chamber and a gas inlet and a gas outlet and a vacuum UV radiation source located therein, wherein the surface of the reactor chamber at least partially comprises a catalytically active material, made of transition metals of the Periodic Table of Elements, for generating reactive oxygen species, wherein the gas stream of air or oxygen or a mixture of air and oxygen is passed through the reaction chamber and the activated gas stream is then brought into contact with the water to be treated.
