Dugan, N., S. Smith, T. Sanan, G. Abulikemu, AND D. Lytle. Impacts of Early-Stage Drinking Water Treatment on Cyanobacterial Toxin Release and Degradation. Presented at Region 5 Harmful Algal Bloom Clean Water Act/Safe Drinking Water Act Workshop and Public Meeting, Chicago, IL, April 27 - 29, 2016.
Impact/Purpose:
Presentation will be delivered to an audience of federal regulatory personnel, state regulatory personnel, municipal drinking water personnel and state and local surface water resource management personnel - with the goal of presenting laboratory research results in the area of cyanobacteria toxin oxidation.
Description:
This presentation summarizes the impact of potassium permanganate application to suspensions of intact, toxin-producing cyanobacterial cells at pH 7 and 9, oxidant doses of 1, 2.5 and 5 mg/L, turbidities of 0.1, 5 and 20 NTU, and powdered activated carbon doses of 0 and 10 mg/L
