Abstract

This article explores the role of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the removal of microorganisms from wastewater, highlighting its mechanism of action, application in treatment processes, and advantages over conventional chemical disinfectants. UV radiation, particularly UV-C light, effectively inactivates bacteria, viruses, and protozoa by damaging their genetic material, preventing replication and infection. The technology offers a chemical-free, rapid, and environmentally friendly approach to disinfection without producing harmful by-products. Despite some operational challenges, such as the need for pre-treatment and energy consumption, UV disinfection has become an integral component of modern wastewater treatment strategies. Emerging advancements, including UV-LEDs and hybrid systems, further enhance its efficiency and sustainability.
