Decomposition of Microcystis aeruginosa and Microcystin-LR by TiO2 Oxidation Using Artificial UV Light or Natural Sunlight

In this study, it is reported the destruction of Microcystis aeruginosa and the toxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR) by photolysis and TiO2 photocatalysis in a lab-scale prototype using artificial UV light and at pilot-scale plant using natural solar radiation, as UV photon source. TiO2 photocatalysis showe...
