Advanced oxidation processes for synchronizing harmful microcystis blooms control with algal metabolites removal: From the laboratory to practical applications. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 906:167650. [PMID: 37806585 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in freshwater systems have become a global epidemic, leading to a series of problems related to cyanobacterial outbreaks and toxicity. Studies are needed to improve the technology used for the simultaneous removal of harmful cyanobacteria and algal metabolites. In this review, widely reported advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) strategies for removing major species Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) and microcystins (MCs) were screened through bibliometrics, such as photocatalysis, activated persulfate, H2O2, Ozone oxidation, ultrasonic oxidation, and electrochemical oxidation, etc. AOPs generate kinds of reactive oxygen species (ROS) to inactivate cyanobacteria and degrade cyanotoxins. A series of responses occurs in algal cells to resist the damaging effects of ROS generated by AOPs. Specifically, we reviewed laboratory research, mechanisms, practical applications, and challenges of HABs treatments in AOPs. Problems common to these technologies include the impact of algal response and metabolites, and environmental factors. This information provides guidance for future research on the removal of harmful cyanobacteria and treatment of algal metabolites using AOPs.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 312:137239. [PMID: 36379431 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Harmful algae blooms (HABs), caused by severe eutrophication and extreme weather, have spread all over the world, posing adverse effects on eco-environment and human health. Microcystis aeruginosa is the dominant harmful cyanobacterial species when HABs occur, and the toxic metabolites produced by it, microcystins, are even fatal to humans. Photocatalytic technology has received wide attention from researchers for its clean and energy-efficient features, while the basic mechanisms and modification methods of photocatalysts have also been widely reported. In recent years, photocatalytic technology has shown great promise in the inhibition of HABs. In this article, we systematically reviewed the progress in photocatalytic performance and algae removal efficiency, discuss the damage mechanisms of photocatalysts for algae removal, including physical damage and various oxidative stresses, and also explore the degradation rates and possible pathways of microcystins. It can be concluded that during the photocatalytic process, the cytoarchitectural integrity of algae cells was damaged, a variety of important protein and enzyme systems were disrupted, and the antioxidant systems collapsed due to the continuous attack of ROS, which adversely affected the normal physiological activities and growth, resulting in the inactivation of algae cells. Moreover, photocatalysts have a degrading effect on microcystins, thus reducing the adverse effects of HAB. Finally, a brief summary of future research priorities regarding the photocatalytic degradation of algae cells is presented. This study helps to enhance the understanding of the destruction mechanism of Microcystis aeruginosa during the photocatalytic process, and provides a reference for the photodegradation of HAB in water bodies.
