ABSTRACT
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) is an eco-friendly disinfectant gaining attention. This study examined the influence of metal ions (Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(II)) on PMS disinfection with chloride ions (Cl-) against waterborne microorganisms, encompassing both bacteria and fungal spores. The findings elucidated that metal ions augment the inactivation of bacteria in the PMS/Cl- system while concurrently impeding the inactivation of fungal spores. Specifically, the PMS/Co(II)/Cl- process increased E. coli inactivation rates by 2.25 and 2.75 times compared to PMS/Co(II) and PMS/Cl-, respectively. Conversely, PMS/Me(II)/Cl- generally exhibited a diminished inactivation capacity against the three fungal spores compared to PMS/Cl-, albeit surpassing the efficacy of PMS/Me(II). For instance, the inactivation levels of A. niger by PMS/Cl-, PMS/Cu(II)/Cl-, and PMS/Cu(II) are 4.47-log, 1.92-log, and 0.11-log, respectively. Notably, fungal spores demonstrated a substantially higher resistance to disinfectants compared to bacteria. Differences in microbial susceptibility were linked to cell wall structure, composition, antioxidant defenses, and reactive species generation, such as hydroxyl radicals (â¢OH), sulfate radicals (SO4â¢-), and reactive chlorine species (RCS). This study demonstrated the novel and unique phenomenon of metal ions' dual role in modulating the PMS/Cl- disinfection process, which has not been reported before and has important implications for the field of water treatment.
