Abstract

A hybrid adsorbent/photocatalyst was obtained and used for the removal of microcystin-LR, a potent toxin, from water via adsorption and photocatalyzed oxidation with singlet oxygen. The combined adsorption/photooxidation processes yielded a 500-fold decrease of the overall MC-LR concentration. The adsorbent/photocatalyst can be easily removed from the reaction system by sedimentation or centrifugation.
