Improved Abstract The Objective Of This Study Was To Propose A Suitable Kinetic Model For Ultraviolet

Improved Abstract: The objective of this study was to propose a suitable kinetic model for ultraviolet (UV) disinfection of secondary-treated wastewater. The experimental results demonstrated that the classical Chick-Watson model, in its original form, did not accurately represent the disinfection kinetics. Attempts to improve the model by incorporating variable disinfection rates yielded only marginal improvements. The error parameter (ε), reflecting the deviation between experimental and calculated values using the Chick-Watson model, remained high across all tested bacterial strains. In contrast, the Collins-Selleck model proved to be more effective, as it better accounted for changes in inactivation kinetics during the disinfection process. Moreover, for most Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains tested, the Hom model exhibited a strong correlation with the observed UV-disinfection kinetics. The study also addressed bacterial photoreactivation across a temperature range of 7.5–50 °C. The first-order saturation m
