Removal of diatom Nitzschia sp. cells via ozonation process catalyzed by martite nanoparticles

Inactivation of harmful algal bloom by an environmentally friendly photocatalyst under photo-Fenton-like degradation process

“…The same behavior was observed for the removal performance of diatom Nitzschia sp. cells in the catalytic ozonation process (Khataee et al, 2018b). Accordingly, when the diatom concentration was enhanced from 2.0×10 5 to 4.6×10 5 cells mL -1 , the removal efficiency decreased from 100 % to 36.8% within 20 min.…”

“…(Khataee et al, 2018a), as well as diatoms (Nitzschia sp.) (Khataee et al, 2018b) in the surface water. Moreover, as pioneer AOPs, photocatalytic degradation processes were also used to deactivate algal bloom (Gu et al, 2016;Mohan et al, 2022).…”

“…Diatoms, dinoflagellates, cyanobacteria, and green algal cells like Scenedesmus quadricauda are the critical classes of organisms that produce algal blooms. Though diatoms and dinoflagellates are commonly found in seawater blooms, cyanobacteria and green algal cells thrive in freshwater (Khataee et al, 2018a(Khataee et al, , 2018bPaerl, 2009;Zou et al, 2020).…”

Fe2.5Co0.3Zn0.2O4/CuCr-LDH as a visible-light-responsive photocatalyst for the degradation of caffeine, bisphenol A, and simazine in pure water and real wastewater under photo-Fenton-like degradation process

“…• and Cl -(reactions 1 to 3). In fact, the formation of less oxidant species such as dichloride radical anion 2 Cl •− is only favored under acidic conditions (reaction 2) (Huang et al, 2018a;Khataee et al, 2018).…”
