Corrigendum to “UV-LEDs combined with persulfate salts as a method to inactivate microalgae in ballast water”

Abstract

he authors regret to report the following errors: In Table 6, the doses of the UVB LEDs were interchanged with respect to a period of 0d and 5d of dark post-treatment. The correct version should be as follows [Table presented] As a result of this data exchange, two percentages in Section 3.2.4 were also modified. The correct versions are: Paragraph four (lines 4–8): Without a dark post-treatment, UVC LEDs were 81.9 % more efficient than UVB LEDs and 48.1 % more efficient than UVC LP mercury lamps. With a five day dark post-treatment, the UVC LEDs were 85.8 % more efficient than UVB LEDs and 36.8 % more efficient than UVC LP mercury lamps. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused
