- This output focused on tackling the international water quality crisis, funded by an EPSRC GCRF collaborative grant (EP/P029280/1) that brought together >20 years of investigations to engineer a paradigm shift in applying TiO2 photocatalysis exploiting recycled coated glass beads and advances in UV-LED technologies. For the first time in environmental engineering, we applied immersed reactors to treat toxins in reservoirs prior to water being abstracted for treatment. These findings are a game-changer in the way we design TiO2-photocatalytic water treatment and COGERH, a water company in Brazil (Dr Mario U.G. Barros, mario.barros@cogerh.com.br), is looking at implementation of the process (http://portal.cogerh.com.br/acude-gaviao-recebe-experimento-pioneiro-que-melhora-qualidade-da-agua/.)
