Abstract
This study was conducted for the purpose to make clear the effect of hydraulic retention time (HRT) on the removal and decomposition of Microcystis viridis toxic substance cyanoviridin in the bio-film reactor existing small metazoa, and the stability of decomposition of cyanoviridin in the continuous bio-film reactor using high performance liquid chromatography. The results obtained from this study are as follows.
(1) Toxic substance cyanoviridin was removed more than 70% under short HRT such as 1.5h and more than 90% under long HRT such as 12h (2) High removal efficiency of cyanoviridin could be accomplished in the continuous bio-film treatment process for long term. (3) The accumlations of cyanoviridin could not almost be recognized in the bio-film, therefore, it was suggested that cyanoviridin could be decomposed efficiently by biological functions. (4) It was made clear that the bio-film treat-ment process was effective method to remove the both algal cells and toxic substance cyanoviridin in the water purification process from extremely eutrophied lake water.
