Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous microorganisms considered as important contributors to the
formation of Earth's atmosphere and nitrogen fixation. However, they are also frequently …

Blooms of toxic cyanobacteria in water supply systems are a global issue affecting water
supplies on every major continent except Antarctica. The occurrence of toxic cyanobacteria …

Chemical oxidation using peracetic acid (PAA) can be enhanced by activation with the
formation of reactive species such as organic radicals (R–O•) and HO•. Thermal activation is …

This study provided an in-depth understanding of enhanced algae inactivation by combining
ultraviolet and peracetic acid (UV/PAA) and selecting Microcystis aeruginosa as the target …

Algae organic matters (AOM), including intracellular organic matters (IOM) and extracellular
organic matters (EOM), are causing numerous water quality issues, among which formation …

Algae cells and algal organic matter (AOM) present in algae impacted source water pose a
serious threat to the safety of drinking water. Conventional water treatment processes poorly …

Aqueous suspensions of Microcystis aeruginosa were preoxidized with either ozone or
permanganate and then subjected to chlorination under conditions simulating drinking water …

In this study, the feasibility of removing Microcystis aeruginosa by heterogeneous persulfate
activation using ubiquitous natural pyrite was investigated. The results indicated the …

Cyanobacterial blooms are continuously critical challenges in drinking water systems which
can have various negative impacts such as production of taste, odour and toxic compounds …

Photocatalysis is becoming a popular method for the inactivation of algae cells. However,
the previous research has mainly focused on the destruction of algae cells by photocatalysis …
