Control of cyanobacterial blooms involves spraying cyanobacteria removal materials, including coagulants. However, little is known about the fate of the coagulated-cyanobacteria-laden water. Here, we examined long-term changes in water quality following treatment with various coagulants and minerals for cyanobacterial removal when the coagulated cyanobacterial cells were not removed from the water. An experiment in a controlled water system tested the effects of six different compounds, one conventional coagulant, two natural inorganic coagulants, and three minerals. All tested coagulants and minerals exhibited &gt;75% of cyanobacterial removal efficiency. However, compared to the control, higher concentrations of nitrogen were observed from some samples treated during the experimental period. After 20 months, the final total phosphorus concentration of the raw water increased 20-fold compared to the initial concentration to 11.82 mg\/L, indicating significant nutrient release over time. Moreover, we observed that the decomposition of sedimented cyanobacterial cells caused the release of intracellular contents into the supernatant, increasing phosphorous concentration over time. Therefore, cyanobacterial cells should be removed from water after treatment to prevent eutrophication and maintain water quality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph192013577","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,20]],"date-time":"2022-10-20T22:49:46Z","timestamp":1666306186000},"page":"13577","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Long-Term Examination of Water Chemistry Changes Following Treatment of Cyanobacterial Bloom with Coagulants and Minerals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Bokjin","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Science and Technology (UST), Daejeon 34113, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Environmental Research, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT), Goyang 10223, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heejun","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Science and Technology (UST), Daejeon 34113, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Environmental Research, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT), Goyang 10223, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hye-cheol","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Research, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT), Goyang 10223, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jaehwan","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Research, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT), Goyang 10223, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saerom","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Research, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT), Goyang 10223, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8243-4002","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sang-Leen","family":"Yun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Research, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT), Goyang 10223, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seogku","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Science and Technology (UST), Daejeon 34113, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Environmental Research, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT), Goyang 10223, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1155398","article-title":"Blooms Like It Hot","volume":"320","author":"Paerl","year":"2008","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"313","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hal.2011.10.027","article-title":"The rise of harmful cyanobacteria blooms: The potential roles of eutrophication and climate change","volume":"14","author":"Davis","year":"2012","journal-title":"Harmful Algae"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"715","DOI":"10.4319\/lo.2006.51.1_part_2.0715","article-title":"Plankton Food Web Structure in a Eutrophic Polymictic Lake with a History of Toxic Cyanobacterial Blooms","volume":"51","author":"Vardaka","year":"2006","journal-title":"Limnol.
