Innovative Mineral–Hydrogel Composites for Effective Nutrient Removal to Reduce Harmful Algal Blooms and to Upcycle Nutrients

Innovative Mineral–Hydrogel Composites for Effective Nutrient Removal to Reduce Harmful Algal Blooms and to Upcycle Nutrients

Harmful algal blooms pose significant threats to industries such as fisheries and tourism and also impact public health through the production of cyanobacterial toxins. To address the escalating concerns associated with HABs, we have developed novel calcium alginate hydrogel composites seeded with various minerals to effectively remove and recover phosphorus and nitrogen.
