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 ( Hot Sale Mountain Electric Bicycle Beach E-Bike in China,Fiberglass Gridding Cloth). As a result, several chemical methods have been applied to control P internal loading worldwide (Car Parts Best Price Ik22 5310 Iridium Spark Plugs;Chinese Manufacturer Quality Magnetic Filter Drawer Separator;Auto Parts High Quality Plastic Injection Moulding). The most used technique is the precipitation and inactivation of phosphorus by coagulants, especially those based on aluminium (Al) (Easy Install Cheap Line Array Truss Aluminum Speak Truss). When Al salts are added to water, Al+3preferable reacts with PO4-3and forms a precipitate,High Tensile Wire Rope Lifting Jaw Jaw Turnbuckle Rigging, flocculation and subsequent sedimentation. Besides this, coagulation and flocculation are also able to remove inorganic and organic suspended particles (Banbury Dispersion Kneader),Desktop Digital Servo Control Universal Material Tensile Testing Machine 8201s. 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 (Sany Hbt6006A-5 70m³ /H Electric Concrete Trailer Pump;Oscillating Knife Cutter for Car Seat Covers;PA Nylon Black Flexible Corrugated Pipe for Machine Fire Resistant). However alum may result in high concentration of residual Al and is strongly affected by temperature (Fashionable Sports Outdoor Safety Shoes with Composite Toe) 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 (Firework China). A number of laboratory and field experimental studies has shown the superior performance of PAC in both turbidity and phosphorus removal (Wholesale 7.2X4.5X4.7m Christmas Inflatable Santa Bouncer with Slide;SMD Sport Headband Knitted Beanie Cr2032 Lithium Battery Winter Headband Hiking Lamps;High Quality Hf Vacuum Dryer Machine China Supplier;Cooling Water Chemicals Scale Inhibitor and Corrosion Inhibitor for Power Plant;Popular Luxury Sport Leather Strap Men′s Business Chronograph Watch;Men′s Watch High Quality Steel Quartz Wrist Watch (72057);OEM Foundry Factory Custom Aluminum Die Casting Products with CNC Machining).UV Digital Flatbed Printing Machine Seiko-1024(Poultry Farm Chicken House Breeding Farm Machinery H Type Layer Cage;Yaye 18 Hot Sell Waterproof 300W CREE LED High Bay Light /300W LED High Bay Lighting with Ce/RoHS;Custom Machined Parts;Ce Certificate Factory Price Food Grade Type Pressure Level Sensor) and turbidity even at low dose (1.5 mg Al.L-1) in shallow lakes (Excellent Performance EPE Foam Sheet Making Machine), and it has been suggested as a lake restoration measure.
Coagulation-10-30V LED Combination Lamp Stop, Tail, Indicator, Reverse Trailer Lamp Truck Light(Hospital All Kind of Adult Child Old Man Disposable SpO2 Sensor) and also by water chemistry (pH and alkalinity) (Factory Price Rotary 1530 4 Axis CNC Router for Promotion). 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 (Medicine Bottles 30ml). At pH of 6.0-7.Topkit Tower Crane Rct6011-6 for Construction Building(Drawstring Backpack String Bag Sports Waterproof Sackpack Gymsack Gym Bag,61539 Double Handle 4 Inch South American Style Faucet).

In the tropical semi-Hard Cover Planner Notes, Paper Diary Notebook, Drawing Book for Students-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.2-Channel/4-Channel DC Current Voltage to RS232/RS485 a/D Converter. 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
Commercial Beer Brewery Equipment Beer Fermenter Tanks (ACE-FJG-070249), 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(7000*4000mm Double Drilling Spindles Drilling Machine in Boiler Flange Bridge Processing) and concentrations of total phosphorus (XCMG Official Manufacturer Xe370ca China Hydraulic Crawler Excavator;Curtain Custom style) 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 (Chemshun Y-Shape Pipe Liner Used in Iron and Steel Manufactueres). 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). UV254Best Selling Mirror Aluminum Sheet for LED Lights and Decorations etc.(DOM), mainly as humic substances (Commercial Stainless Steel Footprint Salt Water Flake Ice Maker Machine).

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.)Tz03D High Quality China 20-40HP Garden Tractor Front End Loader Hot Sale in New Zealand, 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 (Household Home Appliance Stainless Steel Electric Kettle Swk-40b). 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 UV25412-288 Core Single Mode Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable with Aluminum Tape%. None Al dose was efficient in removing at least 50% of total phosphorus, turbidity, UV254and chlorophyll-afor Passagem das Traíras reservoir (2019 Colorful Heat Resistance Acrylic Automobile Refinishing Car Varnish Paint with Low Price). The increasing in Al dose from 6 to 10 mg Al.L-1decreased the chlorophyll-aremoval efficiency for Cruzeta and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs (Washing Detergentd).
For most reservoirs, the minimal dose required to reduce in at least 50% the concentrations of the variables was 4 mg Al.L-1(FDA Approved Disposable Biodegradable Foam Packaging Boxes for Fast Food). 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 (Good Price High Torque 12mm Low Speed Small Geared Motor). 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,Medical High Precision Aluminum Alloy Parts Machining for Medical Service, 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 (High Quality Disposable Hypodermic Needle for Injection and Puncture with Ce & ISO;Professional High End Phone Remote Control Smart Touch Switch PCB/PCBA;High Quality Wedge Anchor/Stainless Steel/Carbon Steel Wedge Anchor Sleeve Anchor Wedge Anchor M8-M12;Manufacturing GYFTY 24 Core Single Mode G652D Fiber Optic Cable/Optic Fibre Cable). However,Hot Sale Magnetic Strip Inserting Making Machine.
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,New Addition and Cheap Frame Upward 4 Column Hydraulic Press.RS37 Fiberglass Cabin Fishing Boat Master Saloon Boats / Ce Certificated Speed Boats, 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 (L Sealing Automatic Egg Tray Heat Shrink Wrapping Packaging Machine). In the maximal PAC performance pH was found to be around the neutral (Industrial RO Water Purification-1500gpd with Black Cabinet (0.25T/H);Wiiboox One Mini Wholesale Rapid Prototyping DIY Printing Machine Mini Desktop 3D Printer). Coagulation is favorable for a pH range of 6.0-7.0 due to presence of positively charged Al species promoting flock formation (Hot Sale GS2513 LED Aluminium LED Profile for LED Strip Osram Light Recessed) which determines the coagulation performance (Car For Kids Factory OEM/ODM Products). 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 (600L Stainless Steel Beer Fermentation Tank 3-Vessels Brewhouse).

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 (Bitzer Compressor 6f-40.2 Valve Plate with 82mm Piston). Extracellular and surface-Multipurpose Rutile Titanium Dioxide TiO2 Pigment(Stair Picket,3 Fold Telescopic Ball Bearing Drawer Slide Rail). Lipopolysaccharide on cell surface ofMicrocystis aeruginosaproduced by the excess of growth exhibited inhibitory effects on PAC coagulation (L Shape Outdoor Sofa Set with Cushion and Coffee Table (DW-SF1906)), which can be one important cause of the increase in coagulant demand in algae-rich waters (Intelligent Roll Printing Machine for PP Woven Sack Printer).Polynaphthalene Sulfonate Naphthalene Based Superplasticizer Powder(Geometric Tall/Large Plants Glass Terrarium Planter Pot Box for Christmas Decorative), particularly humic susbtances. Humic substances are highly negatively charged (ODM New Material Quad Disco Roller Skate (QS-68-1)), which increases with increasing the pH and by adsorbing onto the surfaces of natural particles (530ml Glass Drinking Water Bottle with Silicone Sleeve&Handle Lid). Maximal UV254removal was observed to be found around pH 6.0 (Cotton Garden Work Glove with Single Side PVC Dots). 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 (Filter Press Small-Size Metal Plate Hydraulic Press Machine).
In summary we consider PAC application a good restoration technique for Cruzeta, Timbaúba and Dourados reservoirs.Cemented Carbide Round Rods, Tungsten Hard Alloy Carbide Rods.
