Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Chemically-processed clays (PRCs) by base and acid treatments were developed to effectively remove microalgae, and their removal efficiencies were evaluated and compared to that of natural clay. The processed clays were produced by using sodium hydroxide and different amounts of sulfuric acid, and their characteristics were analyzed. Microalgae removal efficiency of the clay was varied depending on the amount of sulfuric acid used in treatments. When adding 1 g/L of a PRC-D type (treated with 1.5 v/w sulfuric acid) to the Microcystis aeruginosa suspension (1 × 10 cells/mL), the highest removal performance (87.3 ± 1.5%) without significant pH variation of the suspension was found among tested PRCs, whereas that of natural clay was 32.1 ± 2.2%. Finally, when selected PRC-D showing best efficiency was applied to lake water taken at a local algae bloomed lake, it exhibited 77.6% removal efficiency of microalgae, indicating 1.7 times higher than the natural clay. The results suggest that processed clays in this study could contribute to effective removal of microalgae in the algal-bloomed area with minimal environmental impact.
