Research progress in photocatalytic degradation of microcystins in lakes

A brief but comprehensive description of the relevant photocatalytic degradation mechanisms is made,and the influences of irradiator type,photocatalyst and the specific extra oxidantants on the photodegradation are investigated.Moreover,the development direction in the degradation of microcystins is to promote coupled photocatalytic and sunlight-involved photocatalytic oxidation of microcystins.
