Journal Article
PESTANA, C.J., SANTOS, A.A., CAPELO-NETO, J. et al. 2022. Suppressing cyanobacterial dominance by UV-LED TiO2-photocatalysis in a drinking water reservoir: a mesocosm study. Water research [online], 226, article 119299. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2022.119299Cyanobacteria and their toxic secondary metabolites present challenges for water treatment globally. In this study we have assessed TiO2 immobilized onto recycled foamed glass beads by a facile calcination method, combined in treatment units with 365...
