The Effects of Ferric Sulfate (Fe<sub>2</sub>(SO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>) on the Removal of Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins: A Mesocosm Experiment

Cyanobacterial blooms are a global concern. Chemical coagulants are used in water treatment to remove contaminants from the water column and could potentially be used in lakes and reservoirs. The aims of this study was to: 1) assess the efficiency of ferric sulfate (Fe<sub>2</sub>(SO<...
