ZnO/SnO2/Montmorillonite Composite for Inhibition of Cyanobacterial Bloom

Article Preview

Abstract:

ZnO/SnO2/montmorillonite that could flocculate and restrict the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa used as a probe of cyanobacterial was prepared and characterized by means of XRD and TEM. In ZnO/SnO2/montmorillonite, ZnO and SnO2 nanoparticles disperse on montmorillonite surface. The determinations of chlorophyll a levels and total soluble protein content demonstrate that ZnO/SnO2/montmorillonite has stronger flocculation effect on Microcystis aeruginosa compared with natural montmorillonit under visible light, and has a good photocatalytic degradation effect on Microcystis aeruginosa under UV irradiation. Under UV, 96.79% removal efficiency is achieved for Microcystis aeruginosa in 1h using 50mg.L-1 ZnO/SnO2/montmorillonite. The synergy of absorption flocculation and photocatalysis of ZnO/SnO2/montmorillonite promotes the removal of Microcystis aeruginosa.
