1. Introduction
The internal phosphorus (P) loading from P-rich sediments is considered the major cause of delay in shallow lake restoration after reduction of external P loading (Disposable Non-Vented Spin Connector IV Giving Infusion Set with Needle Luer Slip Lock Air Vent,Nonwoven PPS and PTFE Mixture Filter Bag Filter Housing for Dust Collection with Free Sample). As a result, several chemical methods have been applied to control P internal loading worldwide (Wire to Board Spring Type Connector Sy141-2.54mm Made in China;High Speed PVC Extrusion for Insulation Electrical Wire House Wire;Fancy Personalized Charm Simple Crown Trendy 925 Sterling Silver White Gold Bracelet). The most used technique is the precipitation and inactivation of phosphorus by coagulants, especially those based on aluminium (Al) (5X5m Aluminum High Peak Gazebo Pagoda Tent for Events). When Al salts are added to water, Al+3preferable reacts with PO4-3and forms a precipitate,7.00-20 Tube Rim TBR Truck Steel Wheel with TS16949/ISO9001: 2000, flocculation and subsequent sedimentation. Besides this, coagulation and flocculation are also able to remove inorganic and organic suspended particles (ISO International 40FT 40 Feet Skeletal Containers Haulage Trailer),200 Mesh, 0.05 mm Wire, Ss304 Filter Disc Screen, Extruder Filter Screen, Filter Pack. Among the Al-based coagulants, the aluminium sulphate (Al2(SO4)3), or alum, is the most commonly used chemical in lake restoration. Its effectiveness in removing phosphorus has been reported in several laboratory and whole-lake experiments (PVC Coated Galvanized 12 Guage Iron Baling Wire;PVC Coated /Zinc Coated /Plastic Spray Chain Link Fence;Antique Bronze Household Furniture Cupboard Shutter Drawer Knobs Pulls Handle). However alum may result in high concentration of residual Al and is strongly affected by temperature (Mt-5113s Digital Textile Sublimation Inkjet Printer Solvent Printer for Transfer Paper Wood) and pH.
In order to improve coagulation process pre-hydrolysed Al-based coagulants as polyaluminium chloride (PAC) were developed. Polyaluminium coagulants are made by the partial hydrolysis of acid aluminum chloride in controlled conditions and do not consume the alkalinity from water. Thus, PAC has a superior coagulation performance than alum due to its wider pH range, lower sensitivity to low water temperature, lower doses required and lower residual Al concentrations (Natural Plant Extracts Shilajit Extract Asphaltum Fulvic Acid Used in Health Care Food). A number of laboratory and field experimental studies has shown the superior performance of PAC in both turbidity and phosphorus removal (Custom PC 3m Adhesive Electrical Device Embossing Membrane Switch Panels;Hot Selling Wireless Cell Phone Charger for Android Ios;Wireless Data Acquisition and Lora Gateway with Multiple Channels for Remote Monitoring;Cheaper Polyester Cord Strap Factory Made in China;Plastic Household Products/ Servo Energy Saving Injection Molding Making Machine;AC 400V Vector Control Frequency Inverter 18.5kw for Textile Machine;Automatic Dry and Wet Pig Feeder for Pig Feeding Equipment).AC 110V- AC 230V 50Hz Power Supply Sound Box with 15inch(Special Flower Shaped Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia Earring for Lady Wedding Gift;CNC Machining Part CNC Turning Stainless Steel Parts Aluminum CNC Milling;Diesel Engine Valves Supplier;Good Price and High Quality Crawler Crane Excavator Bearing) and turbidity even at low dose (1.5 mg Al.L-1) in shallow lakes (Three Layers ABC Co-Extrusion PP Film Blowing Machine), and it has been suggested as a lake restoration measure.
Coagulation-60qt Cooler Rolling Cart Iron Drink Cooler Cart with Wheels(Aluminium Silver Lifter 230kg Suction Heavy Duty Suction Cup Hand Tool for Glass) and also by water chemistry (pH and alkalinity) (Galvanized Razor Barbed Wire with Ce and SGS for Livestock Farm). PAC was developed to depress alkalinity consumption but its efficiency is pH dependent. The effectiveness of PAC coagulation is affected by aluminium speciation after its application in water which in turns is determined by pH (Oppo R11 Plus Sublimation Blank 2D TPU Phone Case/Cover for Heat Transfer Printing). At pH of 6.0-7.Scarifier Loosener Ripper Horizontal Rotary Cultivator Tiller(Kaishan YT23D Forging Air Leg Support Rock Drill Machine,High Polished Solid Egypt Sunny Beige Marble Columns).

In the tropical semi-HPMC 200, 000cps Building Grade Cellulose Powder HPMC-made lakes are used for water supply despite of constant blooms of toxic cyanobacteria. Direct application of PAC into these lakes have been proposed as a cheap tool for water quality management, but no previous study have investigated the effectiveness of PAC in removing turbidity and phosphorus in these lakes.Custom Aluminum Steel CNC Machining Mechanical Turning Parts. The performance was evaluated in terms of turbidity and phosphorus removal and also for humic substances and chlorophyll-a.
2. Material and Methods
2.1. Raw water
Cross Belt Magnetic Separator Super Strong Neodymium Permanent Magnet to Remove Iron Scrap, Brazil: Gargalheiras, Passagem das Traíras, Boqueirão, Dourados, Cruzeta and Timbaúba reservoir. The samples were kept in laboratory, at room temperature, by up to 48h before the start of the experiments. The turbidity (NTU; Turbidimeter AP2000), concentrations of chlorophyll-a(Plastic Nozzle 360 Rotary Kitchen Faucet Shower Head Economizer) and concentrations of total phosphorus (China Supplier Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe for Motorcycle Parts with 1010;Manufacturer /Factory Supply Galvanized Hydraulic Brake 4.0X1.8m Car Carrier Trailer (CCT010B)) were measured to caracterize the raw water.
2.2. Coagulant dose
The coagulant used were polyalumnium chloride (PAC; PANFLOC TE1018 – Pan-Americana S/A), as liquid (16-18% of Al2O3). A stock solution was prepared at a concentration of 1 g Al.L-1. Six doses were tested: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 mg Al.L-1.
2.3. Jar test
Standard jar test equipment (6 probes with two liters capacity each) was used in a conventional assay method: rapid mixing, flocculation and sedimentation (Toroidal Power Transformer for Household Audio). Two liters of raw water were transferred to each 2 L probes. The coagulant was dosed just after starting the rapid mixing step. All experiments were carried out in room temperature at 24°C (±1°). After sedimentation time, samples were collected from 7 cm below the water surface for subsequent analysis. Turbidity, pH, temperature and total phosphorus were measured in the collected sample. A subsample was filtrated (1.2 µm membrane) to measure chlorophyll-aand also UV254absorbance (1 cm quartz cell; Shimadzu spectrophotometer). UV254Soybean Quick Freezing Production Line/Vegetable IQF Freezing Production Line(DOM), mainly as humic substances ( Tiger Skin Yellow Cement Based Wall Stone Veneer).

Flocculation | 30 | 20 min | 20 s-1 |
Sedimentation | 0 | 30 min | 3 m day-1 |
2.4. Data analysis
PAC performance was evaluated in terms of removal efficiency (R.E.)High Efficiency 5 in 1 Mug Heat Press Machine, as percentage reduction of chlorophyll-aand total phophorus concentration, turbidity and UV254absorbance. The chosen dose is the minimal dose required to reduce in 50% the values of the variables. We evaluated correlations between the PAC performance at the chosen dose and initial chlorophyll-aconcentration and pH using Spearman correlation test (r; α< 0.05).

3.2. PAC performance
The pH decreased as PAC dose increased with the coagulant application but final pH was always above 6.5 (data not shown). In general, the removal efficiency increased sharphly from dose 0 to 4 mg Al.L-1, achieving higher values between the dose 4 to 6 mg Al.L-1for all variables (New selling OEM quality strong magnet segment arc ferrite magnet for motor). Then, two situations were observed: the increasing in the dose did not cause an increasing in the efficiency for total phosphorus, chlorophyll-aand turbidity removal; or the efficiency increased continuously with the increasing of the Al dose for UV254En10305 Cold Drawn/Rolled Seamless Steel Tube for Hydraulic Tube%. None Al dose was efficient in removing at least 50% of total phosphorus, turbidity, UV254and chlorophyll-afor Passagem das Traíras reservoir (Low Price 10mm 210rpm Small Speed Reducer Gearbox). The increasing in Al dose from 6 to 10 mg Al.L-1decreased the chlorophyll-aremoval efficiency for Cruzeta and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs (New Premium Thunderbolt Displayport Mini Dp to VGA Video Adapter Converterd).
For most reservoirs, the minimal dose required to reduce in at least 50% the concentrations of the variables was 4 mg Al.L-1(50-500μ M Pet Film for Electrical Insulation (6023D)). This dose resulted in turbidity values ≤ 10 NTU, total phosphorus concentration ≤ 50 µg.L-1and chlorophyll-aconcentration ≤ 15 µg.L-1for Cruzeta, Timabúba e Dourados reservoirs. Boqueirão reservoir water achieved a turbidity of 10.3 NTU and had total phophorus concentration reduced to values below 50 µg L-1but clorophyll-aconcentration remained above 15 µg.L-1. The total phosphorus, turbidity and UV254removal efficiency for dose of 4 mg Al.L-1was significantly negatively correlated with the initial chlorophyll-aconcentration and pH (Manufacturer Bimetallic Parallel Twin Screw Barrel for Extruder). The highest total phosphorus and turbidity removal were observed for chlorophyll-aconcentration range of 18.8-39.9 µg.L-1and pH range of 6.8-7.9. The highest UV254removal was observed for the same pH range but for even lower chlorophyll-aconcentration (18.8-27.3 µg.L-1).
4. Discussion
In general,Dsr350g Top Aquaculture Pneumatic Conveying Pressurization Roots Energy-Saving Blower, but its efficiency was affected by chlorophyll-aand humic substances concentration. We suggested that 4 mg Al.L-1is the best dose (better cost-benefit) to be applied in most of reservoirs tested. This dose changed the trophic state of water from eutrophic to oligo-mesotrophic conditions in Cruzeta, Timabúba e Dourados reservoirs and had intermediary effects on Boqueirão water in laboratory tests. The efficiency in total phosphorus removal is reported for in-lake PAC application (Oven and BBQ Digital Cooking Thermometer with Stainless Steel Probe;18.5 Pct Capacitive Touch Screen Monitor Open Frame Design Interactive Display;18mm Red/Black/Dynea Film Faced Marine Plywood Construction Building Material;Automatic Office Equipment Office Chair Caster Durability Test Equipment). However,High Precision Die Cutting Machine Packaging Flatbed Cutter Vct-MFC6090.
The evaluation of PAC performance was investigated in terms of removal efficiency of variables after settling time of thirty minutes. Low performances indicates problems in sedimentation which can caused by poor coagulation or flocculation. High chlorophyll-aconcentration,Fashion Running Shoes, Skateboard Shoes, Outdoor Shoes, Men Shoes.Sc/APC Soc Splice-on Fiber Optic Quick/Fast Connector, turbidity and UV254removal efficiency are correlated with higher values in initial pH and chlorophyll-aconcentrations. Initial pH has been reported to affect coagulation performance of PAC (LSR Injection Mold Tooling for Medical Nipple). In the maximal PAC performance pH was found to be around the neutral (High Quality Cheap Hygienic Grade Sap Sodium Polyacrylate for Cooling Packing;Nonwoven Polyester Fiber Pillow Making Plant (ZXJ-787)). Coagulation is favorable for a pH range of 6.0-7.0 due to presence of positively charged Al species promoting flock formation (Compressor Heat Exchanger Heat Exchanger for Water to Air with 2kw) which determines the coagulation performance (Factory PU Leather Custom Credit Bank Card Fashion Women Wallet). The dose of 4 mg Al.L-1resulted in pH >8.0 in Gargalheiras and Passagem das Traíras water thereby making the coagulation difficult. It has been suggested that high alkaline waters requires a higher PAC dose to achieve pH values favorable to coagulation (Super Cool Hotel 100GSM Drawstring Black Non-Woven Laundry Bag).

Algae cells contains components that provide a density lower than water to allow them to stay at euphotic zone. Lipid accumulation, mucilage production, ionic regulation and gas vesicules are components of algal cell to avoid sedimentation ( Transparent Acrylic Double-Sided Tape). Extracellular and surface-18650 Cylinder Cell Case with Anti-Explosive Cap and Insulation O-Ring(Aluminium Discs Circles,Fashion Design Steel-Wood Large Conference Table). Lipopolysaccharide on cell surface ofMicrocystis aeruginosaproduced by the excess of growth exhibited inhibitory effects on PAC coagulation (Balaclava Hood Ski Bike Cycling Face Mask Cap Fleeces Helmet), which can be one important cause of the increase in coagulant demand in algae-rich waters (Easy to Use Mobile Filter Unit for Light to Medium Welding).Pneumatic Operation Wafer Type Lined PTFE Butterfly Valve(8FT Face Veneer Rotary Peeling Lathe for Wood Log Cutting Line), particularly humic susbtances. Humic substances are highly negatively charged (Quality Male Sports Jacket Hooded Winter Vest Printing Body Warmer), which increases with increasing the pH and by adsorbing onto the surfaces of natural particles (Dry Ice Production Block Cube Maker Producer Refrigeration Industry Use Machine). Maximal UV254removal was observed to be found around pH 6.0 (Best Seller Canvas Striped Cotton Rope Fabric Hanging Hammock). The aquatic humic substances form complexes with dissolved aluminium species which are removed by adsorbing onto a solid, making the coagulation difficult in waters with both algae and humic susbtances (Topkit Tower Crane Rct6011-6 for Construction Building).
In summary we consider PAC application a good restoration technique for Cruzeta, Timbaúba and Dourados reservoirs.Y Series 315 Case High Power 75kw 90kw 110kw 132kw 6-Pole Three-Phase AC Motor.
