This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of microcystis and Lake Erie, microcystin-LR, treatment approaches, and membranes and drinking water. Study objectives include the following:
investigate the fate of microcystin-LR during
water treatment using powdered activated carbon - ultrafiltration (PAC-UF); and,
examine the role of natural organic matter
(NOM) in the removal of microcystin-LR using
PAC-UF. Presentation conclusions indicate the following:
PAC-UF can effectively remove microcystin-LR
from drinking water;
membrane pore size and composition influence
removal;
hydrophobic membranes sorb microcystin-LR;
adsorption is reversible;
smaller pore size results in greater rejection by size
exclusion; and,
SRFA/Lake Erie NOM hinder sorption of MC-LR
to PAC and hydrophobic membrane surfaces. Includes tables, figures.
