Recent Progress on Removal Technology of Microcystins
One of the most important hazards caused by cyanobacteria bloom is the production and release of microcystins(MCs),which can directly harm the water environment and human health.Therefore,it is very important to select feasible new technology to remove MCs for the treatment of eutrophic water.The research status and progress of MCs removal methods at home and abroad were reviewed from physical methods,chemical methods,biological methods and combination methods.It mainly includes adsorption,membrane filtration,oxidizer oxidation,photochemical oxidation,photocatalysis,biodegradation,adsorption and photocatalytic oxidation,adsorption and biodegradation combined processes.On this basis,the development di-rection of MCs removal technology in the future is proposed from four aspects:conducting detailed research on the mecha-nism of cyanobacteria bloom outbreak,studying the removal mechanism of MCs in more detail,conducting further toxicity re-search on the degradation products of MCs,and developing a new high-efficiency,low-cost and environmentally friendly MCs removal technology.It is hoped to provide reference for the remediation of cyanobacteria bloom pollution,especially to eliminate the impact of MCs on water environment and human beings.
