水库中的蓝绿藻（蓝藻）大量繁殖经常产生包括微囊藻毒素在内的高毒性次级代谢产物，导致人类和动物死亡。为了解决这一全球性问题，我们在这里提出了一个可行的解决方案：利用固定在玻璃珠上的TiO2的光催化能力，这些玻璃珠被封装在“光反应器吊舱”中，配备紫外线LED，用于光催化破坏蓝藻毒素。这些反应器吊舱的设计使得它们可以在电源的帮助下连续使用，以促进光催化过程。这一进程可用于应对全球挑战之一：在地球仪周围提供安全饮用水。
Blooms of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) in water reservoirs frequently produce highly toxic secondary metabolites including microcystins which have resulted in both human and animal fatalities. To tackle this global problem, we present here a viable solution: utilising the photo-catalytic power of TiO2 immobilised on glass beads that are encased in ‘photo-reactor pods’, equipped with UV LEDs, for the photocatalytic destruction of cyanotoxins. These reactor pods are designed in such a way that they can be used continuously with the aid of a power supply to facilitate the photocatalytic process. This process could be used to address one of the Global Challenges: providing safe drinking water around the globe.
