“…extracellular cyanotoxins. Processes, such as nanofiltration (NF), reverse osmosis (RO) and ultrafiltration (UF) achieved more than 98% removal of cyanobacterial cells and intracellular cyanotoxin[63]. For saline water, reverse osmosis (RO) can be very useful for cyanotoxin removal Neumann and Weckesser (1998) [64].…”

“…This explains the higher removal efficiency of fluoride at 2 bar pressure. Other authors [22][23][24] also observed that the combined process using coagulation/flocculation or flotation, followed by microfiltration is efficient in the production of drinking water. Figure 7 shows the permeate fluxes for pressures of 1 bar and 2 bar, indicating that the permeate fluxes for both pressures decrease with the lapse of operation time.…”

The consumption of water that has a high level of fluoride can result in dental or skeletal fluorosis, which causes changes in the teeth and bones. Thus, this study aimed to verify the efficiency of the reduction of fluoride in groundwater using coagulation with extracts of Moringa oleifera Lam seeds (MO) combined with microfiltration. Coagulation/flocculation tests were carried out in Jar test with different concentrations of the coagulant and subsequent treatment of water by microfiltration membranes. The concentration of fluoride in water was adjusted to 5 mgF‐/L and pH set to 7.0. The test used 1.5 g/L of the coagulant MO, for a 3 mgF‐/L initial concentration of fluoride and pH 3.0 proved effective for the removal of fluoride, colour, and turbidity of water with residual amounts of 1.07 mgF‐/L, 19 mgPt‐Co/L, and 3 NTU, respectively. The best results were obtained using 5 g/L of the coagulant MO and 2 bar pressure in the microfiltration step. Under these conditions, the final water quality complies with the recommendations of the Brazilian legislation, with residual fluoride at 1.2 mgF‐/L, 1.56 NTU turbidity and 8.56 mgPt‐Co/L colour. These results indicate the potential of the proposed treatment and that this represents an alternative for reducing excessive fluoride from water by combining the use of a natural and biodegradable coagulant with microfiltration processes, which contributes to the final quality of water.

“…More than 1,000 species of cyanobacteria are known. To date, however, only forty have been described as capable of producing cyanotoxins, which are substances that produce toxic effects and can act on neurotransmitters of the central and peripheral nervous system, liver cells, gastrointestinal system and mucosal tissues, as well as causing irritation and allergic effects (SORLINI et al, 2013, AL-SAMMAK et al, 2014. Cyanotoxins with hepatotoxic, neurotoxic and dermatotoxic effects can be found in If proliferation cannot be avoided, it is necessary to invest in corrective measures and remediation of the negative impact of cyanobacteria blooms and their toxic potential (ZHANG et al, 2014).…”

The aim of this work is to show the state-of-the-art about powdered activated carbon and cyanotoxins removal, normally used to avoid health problems in drinking water. The work is part of the PhD research of the second author. Brazilian government has one important law about the subject, named as ordinance 2.914, which provides procedures for water quality control and monitoring. In addition, the standards of portability. Problems caused by cyanotoxins are discussed as one the most dangerous for the public health. The problems linked with cyanobacteria for a long time have been neglected. Some of the problems caused for the presence of this toxins in the water are gastroenteritis, hepato-enteritis and other diseases of the liver and kidney, cancer, skin irritations, allergies, conjunctivitis, vision problems, muscle weakness, respiratory problems, asphyxia, seizures and in extreme cases death. Papers from different bases were consulted as materials in this research. The main bases were Scopus, Science Direct, and SciELO.
