Anti-algal activity of a fluorine-doped titanium oxide photocatalyst against <i>Microcystis aeruginosa</i> and its photocatalytic degradation

Abstract

Fluorine-doped TiO 2 was successfully synthesised and applied as algaecide. Studies on algae removal efficiencies and mechanisms illustrated that F-TiO 2 was suitable for algae elimination in natural water bodies.
