Water treatment specialists need more and more to understand how viruses behave in potable water pipes and wastewater setups. This work discusses the late advances in dealing with viruses present in water treatment processes. Activated carbon adsorption (ACA) remains one of the most efficient and credible physicochemical methods. Nanoparticles have been utilized to turn activated carbon into a more efficient sorbent. Membrane filtration could lead to total elimination of viruses and ensure the safety of drinking water plants. As a feasible utilization for disinfecting potable water, solar disinfection (SODIS) remains a green and cost-efficient technology with its optical and thermal pathways and deserves more interest in its large and industrial implementation. Identically, solar distillation remains a viable solution for disinfecting and treating water. The water treatment techniques that are currently utilized for surface water treatment are appropriate for eliminating viruses like influenza A viruses, as proved by the literature. More strict precautions have to be taken to secure viruses’ total elimination from water and wastewater as for influenza A and H5N1 in terms of advanced oxidation processes, ACA, and membrane processes application. Before reaching surface water, pathogens have to be removed efficiently from hospital and municipal wastewaters.

对病毒消毒的新见解——简短说明

水处理专家需要越来越多地了解病毒在饮用水管道和废水装置中的行为。这项工作讨论了处理水处理过程中存在的病毒的最新进展。活性炭吸附（ACA）仍然是最有效和最可靠的物理化学方法之一。纳米颗粒已被用于将活性炭变成更有效的吸附剂。膜过滤可以彻底消除病毒并确保饮用水厂的安全。作为饮用水消毒的可行应用，太阳能消毒 (SODIS) 凭借其光学和热途径仍然是一种绿色且具有成本效益的技术，值得对其大规模和工业实施产生更多兴趣。同样，太阳能蒸馏仍然是消毒和处理水的可行解决方案。文献证明，目前用于地表水处理的水处理技术适用于消除甲型流感病毒等病毒。在高级氧化工艺、ACA 和膜工艺应用方面，必须采取更严格的预防措施，以确保从水和废水中完全消除病毒，就像甲型流感和 H5N1 流感一样。在到达地表水之前，必须有效地从医院和市政废水中去除病原体。在高级氧化工艺、ACA 和膜工艺应用方面，必须采取更严格的预防措施以确保从水和废水中完全消除病毒，如甲型流感和 H5N1。在到达地表水之前，必须有效地从医院和市政废水中去除病原体。在高级氧化工艺、ACA 和膜工艺应用方面，必须采取更严格的预防措施以确保从水和废水中完全消除病毒，如甲型流感和 H5N1。在到达地表水之前，必须有效地从医院和市政废水中去除病原体。
