Freshwater cyanobacterial blooms are becoming increasingly problematic microbiological pollutants, especially for the water resource and surface natural lakes. Cyanobacterial blooms, which produce toxins and microcystins, negatively affect the quality of water, animal, and human health, and they have also negative impact on recreational activities. The effect of electrochemically prepared potassium ferrate (green oxidation agent) on the water polluted by cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins was studied. The two most frequently occurring cyanobacterial genus Microcystis and Anabaena and the most toxic and abundant microcystin MC-LR were successfully inactivated and treated by ferrate. Potassium ferrates were applied at different conditions, such as varied hydrodynamics flow of samples, pH, and Fe(VI) concentrations. High detected elimination efficiency was consequently tested on the real water matrix from microbiological polluted natural lake Šaštín-Gazárka in Slovakia. The ferrate application leads to the better chemical, biological, microbiological, and ecotoxicological outcomes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007501 Iron A metallic element with atomic symbol Fe, atomic number 26, and atomic weight 55.85. It is an essential constituent of HEMOGLOBINS; CYTOCHROMES; and IRON-BINDING PROTEINS. It plays a role in cellular redox reactions and in the transport of OXYGEN. Iron-56,Iron 56
D000458 Cyanobacteria A phylum of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria comprised of unicellular to multicellular bacteria possessing CHLOROPHYLL a and carrying out oxygenic PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Cyanobacteria are the only known organisms capable of fixing both CARBON DIOXIDE (in the presence of light) and NITROGEN. Cell morphology can include nitrogen-fixing heterocysts and/or resting cells called akinetes. Formerly called blue-green algae, cyanobacteria were traditionally treated as ALGAE. Algae, Blue-Green,Blue-Green Bacteria,Cyanophyceae,Algae, Blue Green,Bacteria, Blue Green,Bacteria, Blue-Green,Blue Green Algae,Blue Green Bacteria,Blue-Green Algae
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D014867 Water A clear, odorless, tasteless liquid that is essential for most animal and plant life and is an excellent solvent for many substances. The chemical formula is hydrogen oxide (H2O). (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Hydrogen Oxide
D052998 Microcystins Cyclic heptapeptides found in MICROCYSTIS and other CYANOBACTERIA. Hepatotoxic and carcinogenic effects have been noted. They are sometimes called cyanotoxins, which should not be confused with chemicals containing a cyano group (CN) which are toxic. Cyanoginosins
D060106 Lakes Inland bodies of still or slowly moving FRESH WATER or salt water, larger than a pond, and supplied by RIVERS and streams. Soda Lakes,Lake,Lakes, Soda
D018154 Slovakia Created 1 January 1993 as a result of the division of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Slovak Republic
