Synergistic algicidal effects of combined UV-LED/chlorine treatments on Tetraselmis sp.: Optimization and mode-of-action
See t.ly/TR8P — Unwanted proliferation of and adhesion by microalgae, as involved in fouling and species invasion, are important problems across many maritime operations and coastal industrial activities. The algicidal mechanisms of ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) and the synergistic algicidal effects between UV-LEDs and chlorine treatments in seawater were investigated in this study. Tetraselmis sp. was employed as the challenge organism. Five UV wavelengths (265, 280, 285, 300 and 315 nm) and three chlorine dosages (0.6, 0.8 and 1 mg L−1) were examined in a factorial experiment to optimize the disinfection performance achieved by combined UV-LED/chlorine treatments in seawater. Overall, the combined treatments…
