Solar-light-driven inactivation of toxigenic Microcystis by floating photocatalytic mesh system: Insights on physiological mechanism and application
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) pose serious ecological and health risks with releasing waterborne toxins. In this study, a novel floating Bi2WO6-based photocatalytic mesh (BPM) system was developed for efficient water purification by targeting the inactivation of HABs-dominated Microcystis and detoxification of associated microcystins (MCs) under solar light irradiation. The superior flotation, durability and sunlight utilization of the BPM system were achieved by its super-hydrophobic surface, robust stainless-steel mesh carrier, and efficient light transmission, respectively. Photocatalytic Microcystis inactivation and MCs degradation were achieved within 6 h at a bloom density of 5 × 106 cells/mL through dual mechanisms, which are free radicals generation and direct physical cell disruption. Additionally, the physiological response in Microcystis exhibited a time-dependent inactivation process. The photosynthetic and antioxidant system, cell membrane integrity and MCs production/release progressively collapsed in the BPM system, finally the MCs rapidly detoxified to a safe level. The floating BPM system maintained excellent stability and efficiency over 165 h of water flushing, demonstrating its superior applicability. The global feasibility assessments of the BPM system based on real-world solar radiation further demonstrated its scalability for reducing HABs areas. This work provides both mechanistic insights and practical validation for sustainable water purification in HABs management.
期刊介绍:
Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include:
•Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management;
•Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;
•Drinking water treatment and distribution;
•Potable and non-potable water reuse;
•Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;
•Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;
•Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment;
•Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution;
•Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation;
•Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts;
•Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle;
•Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
