Higher alkalinity increases copper toxicity in phytoplankton: The importance of pH flux when treating algal blooms
{{output}}
For more than a century, copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O) has been used to combat harmful algal blooms in freshwater systems. Dosing recommendations for copper sulfate are often at 1% of the ambient alkalinity, thus increasing the applied dose with hi... ...
