More copies of this ISBN:Removal of Algal Toxins from Drinking Water Using Ozone and Gacby Gayle Newcombe
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Toxic cyanobacteria (blue green algae) have now been reported in 27 countries and are found on all continents including Antarctica. Drinking water authorities world-wide are faced with the challenge of treating contaminated water or the possibility of a toxic bloom occurring sometime in the future. This tailored collaboration project was to provide the international drinking water industry with information to facilitate the confident application of viable treatment techniques for cyanotoxins. Assessment included toxicity of the ozonated solutions, assessment of the protein phosphate inhibition assay technique and the possibility of seeding an activated carbon filter with select bacteria for removal of microcystin-LR. This report offers valuable guidance to the water supplier to aid in deciding upon the most appropriate treatment options for a range of dissolved blue-green algal toxins. Book News Annotation:Presents results from a series of experiments designed to evaluate
possible treatment options for a range of dissolved blue-green algal
toxins. The first experiment assesses the conditions of ozone
residual and contact time under which microcystin, anatoxin-a, and
the saxitoxin class of toxins are destroyed. Two pilot studies test
the expected lifetime of GAC filters, and the efficiency of GAC
precede by ozone. Next, laboratory scale column trials are performed
to determine the effectiveness of GAC for the removal of saxitoxins.
The last chapter reports on the biodegradation of the toxins in the
absence of activated carbon as an adsorbent. No index.
