Abstract
The production of cyanobacterial toxins microcystins (MCs) by algal bloom which may promote the growth of tumor in human liver is a growing environmental problem worldwide. MC-LR is the dominate type of MCs. This study investigated elimination of MC-LR by a novel material - carbon xerogel. The carbon xerogel with micropore-mesopore structure are prepared by sol-gel method, and then pyrolysis is carried out through temperature programming. The effects of initial concentration of MC-LR and temperature on adsorption of MC-LR by carbon xerogel are discussed as well as adsorption kinetic. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
