A Utility Decision Tree for Cyanotoxin Treatment With Powdered Activated Carbon
The effectiveness of powdered activated carbon (PAC) at removing cyanotoxins depends on the specific toxin(s), water pH, and PAC source.
A study showed that wood–lignite PAC adsorbed more cyanotoxin than bituminous coal–based PAC, and cyanotoxin removal was more effective at a higher pH.
In this study, removal costs decreased as toxin concentration increased, and saxitoxin removal was less expensive when it was present with microcystin‐LR.
A decision tree that balances treatment costs with toxin removal efficiency was developed to help water utilities.
