The removal of Microcystis aeruginosa in water by gamma-ray irradiation

Kinetic and mechanism investigation on the gamma irradiation induced degradation of endosulfan sulfate

“…The effects of inorganic anions, humic acid (HA), initial concentration of endosulfan sulfate and pH were investigated on the removal efficiency of endosulfan sulfate. The effects of pH of solution, HA and some of the inorganic anions have been investigated in previous studies, such as by Basfar et al (2009), Zheng et al (2011 and Zheng et al (2012). These studies investigated the effects of only few of these factors, besides their study was mainly concerned to hydroxyl radical based AOPs.…”

The Inhibition Effects of Alkoxyl Thiourea Derivatives toward the Growth of Isolated Oscillatoria sp. from Kenyir Lake, Terengganu

“…On the other hand, the gamma radiation might give an adverse effect on the photosynthetic pigments. The level of carotenoids in other toxic blue green algae, Microcystis aeruginosa cells was reduced considerably in response to increasing doses of radiation [20].…”

Au@TiO2 nanocomposites synthesized by X-ray radiolysis as potential radiosensitizers

“…Au@TiO2 nanocomposites as radiosensitizers were evaluated through the decomposition of methylene blue (MB) and their effect on Microcystis Aeruginosa (M. Aeruginosa) cells under X-ray irradiation. M. Aeruginosa cells are unicellular cyanobacteria damaging to water fauna and toxic to humans [47]. These cells were chosen in order to test the radiosensitization effects of the nanocomposites in a biological scenario while showing the possibility of using Au@TiO2 for bacteria removal from water.…”
