Abstract:
The environmental and health problems caused by the frequent occurrence of cyanobacteria blooming and its secondary metabolites,algal toxins, have become a hot spot in environmental science research.This article reviews the production and contamination status of algal toxins, and the removal effects of microcystins(MCs), anatoxin-a(ANTX) and other algal toxins by different water treatment processes, including coagulation and sedimentation, ozone oxidation, activated carbon adsorption,membrane treatment, chlorination and UV irradiation.Furthermore, the factors affecting the removal effect are analyzed,and the advantages and limitations of each water treatment process are summarized.Finally, some feasible proposals are presented regarding the future research of removing algal toxins.
