Seasonal algal blooms in surface water release a significant amount of algal organic matter
(AOM), which alters the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM). AOM affects the …

Excessive proliferation of cyanobacteria blooms resulting in metabolic musty-earthy odor
materials such as geosmin (GSM) pose potential risks to aquatic ecosystems and human …

Harmful algal blooms in the past three decades appear to have grown in incidence, intensity
and geographical distribution with negative impacts on public health and economy values …

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms negatively impact lake ecosystems and affect drinking water
treatment when using bloom source water. To guarantee effluent water quality, pre-oxidation …

Preoxidation is an important unit process which can partially remove organic and microbial
contaminations. Due to the high concentrations of organic matter entering the water …

Sodium hypochlorite was widely used as a supplementary disinfectant in reclaimed water
(RW) production during the COVID-19 epidemic. It is well known that the chlorination of RW …

Cyanobacterial blooms and the associated release of cyanotoxins pose problems for many
conventional water treatment plants due to their limited removal by typical unit operations. In …

High nutrient input into waterbodies increases potentially toxic cyanobacteria blooms. Pre-
chlorination treatment is excellent for cyanobacterial cell inactivation and dissolved …

In this work, the performances of two electrochemical cells, a conventional liquid-electrolyte
electrolyzer (LEE) and a solid-electrolyte electrolyzer (SEE) were compared for the treatment …

Microorganisms in source water, including algae, actinomycetes and other microbes,
produce secondary metabolites during growth, particularly 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) and …
