 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 Microcystins in raw water pretreatment method of research In recent decades due to increased levels of eutrophication, including the water supply reservoir water, fresh water bodies, including frequent algal blooms, algal blooms can cause water in the water microcystin (Microcystins, MC) content increased, while the water MC pose a potential human health hazard. An important regulator of MC to human enzyme (protein phosphatase 1 and 2A) has a potential inhibitory effect 〔 1〕 , been shown to lead to humans, livestock and wild animals died. Many countries according to World Health Organization recommended values 〔 2〕 established a drinking water MC-leucine-arginine (LR) limit criteria, the maximum allowable concentration of 1  0μ g / L. China’s ‘Drinking Water Hygienic Standard’ 〔 3〕 and ‘urban water supply water quality standards’ 〔 4〕 in both MC-LR provides the maximum concentration of 1  0μ g / L. The chemical nature of the MC is very stable, conventional water treatment processes for their removal rate lower. Therefore, conventional treatment prior to the search for effective removal of MC pretreatment methods, for the safety and security of drinking water of great significance. In this paper, removal of algal toxins in raw water pretreatment method of research are reviewed. Removal of algal toxins in a pre-oxidation method 1  1 Pre-chlorination since the 20th century, chlorine has been used as a water treatment agent. The early 20th century, the United States regarding the use of chlorine as disinfectant to replace the sand filter. Pre-chlorination is applied first and currently the most widely used method of oxidation of algae removal, it is commonly used in the raw water pre-treatment process to kill algae, making it easy for algae and algal toxins follow-up to conventional water treatment processes to remove. Tsuji et al 〔 5〕 The study has confirmed, MC result is mainly determined by the removal of free chlorine in wate
