Journal Article
LAWTON, L., ROBERTSON, P., CORNISH, B., MARR, I. and JASPARS, M. 2003. Processes influencing surface interaction and photocatalytic destruction of microcystins on titanium dioxide photocatalysts. Journal of catalysis [online], 213(1), pages 109-113. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0021-9517(02)00049-0

Microcystins are a family of hepatotoxic peptides produced by freshwater cyanobacteria. Their occurrence in drinking water is of concern since chronic exposure to these toxins causes tumor promotion. It is therefore essential to establish a reliable... Read More about Processes influencing surface interaction and photocatalytic destruction of microcystins on titanium dioxide photocatalysts..

Mechanistic and toxicity studies of the photocatalytic oxidation of microcystin-LR. (2002)
Journal Article
LIU, I., LAWTON, L.A., CORNISH, B. and ROBERTSON, P., 2002. Mechanistic and toxicity studies of the photocatalytic oxidation of microcystin-LR. Journal of photochemistry and photobiology A: chemistry [online], 148(1-3), pages 349-354. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/S1010-6030(02)00062-X

Cyanobacterial toxins present in drinking water sources pose a considerable threat to human health. Conventional water treatment systems have proven unreliable for the removal of these toxins and hence new techniques have been investigated. Previous...
