Substantial success in solving the problem has recently been achieved using a hot column evaporator (HBCE). Here we extend the technique to inactivate <em>E.coli</em> and MS2 viruses in different electrolyte solutions (0.17M NaCl and 0.01M CaCl<sub>2</sub>). An increase in the inlet air temperature, from 103°C to 250°C, substantially improved the destruction of both pathogenic groups in either solution. <em>E.coli</em> proved to be more susceptible than viruses to inactivation in the HBCE.</p> <p>The phenomenon of inhibition of bubble coalescence above 0.17M  for the NaCl solutions makes the HBCE process for this solution more efficient than for CaCl<sub>2</sub> solutions. In part, this is because of the higher air/water interfacial area with NaCl.</p>}, journal={Substantia}, author={Garrido Sanchis, Adrian}, year={2021}, month={Mar.}, pages={69–77} }
