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 (Multi Function Baby Bbags Maternity Diaper Backpack for Mom,Wood Kids Furniture). As a result, several chemical methods have been applied to control P internal loading worldwide (Paper Making Machine Sand Filter Ceramic Nozzle;Caprolactam Grade Ammonium Sulphate (21%Min);Fu Style Alloy Steel Conveyor Chain with High Quality). The most used technique is the precipitation and inactivation of phosphorus by coagulants, especially those based on aluminium (Al) (T30 CNC Turret Punching Machine Sheet Metal Fabrication Price for Sale). When Al salts are added to water, Al+3preferable reacts with PO4-3and forms a precipitate,Pre Engineered Industrial Factory Prefabricated Light Steel Structure Building/Warehouse/Workshop, flocculation and subsequent sedimentation. Besides this, coagulation and flocculation are also able to remove inorganic and organic suspended particles (newayt),Hydraulic Press Machine Oil Press for Metal Deep Drawing Press. 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 (Cheap Plastic Injection Molding/Plastics Mold Making Cheap Price;12V 24V DC Brushless Centrifugal Circulation Pump;Patio Outdoor Home Hotel Office Restaurant Aluminum Polywood Dining Table and Chair). However alum may result in high concentration of residual Al and is strongly affected by temperature (Automatic CNC Multi Heads Three Rows/Four Rows/Six Rows Boring and Drilling Machine) 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 (Radiator Valve). A number of laboratory and field experimental studies has shown the superior performance of PAC in both turbidity and phosphorus removal (Stainless Steel Sanitary Rectangle Manway with Two Intersectant Arms (CD-mc2997);3/4inch Flexible Aviation Rubber Fuel Hose Making for Gas Station;100% Polyester Fiber Recycled Polyester Wadding for Garments;Wholesale African Women Fashion Dress One Piece Long Dresses Style Clothing;Bio Organic Fertilizer for Root Promoter (SEAWINNER 818 Bio-RootPromoter);Soyo Energy Aluminum Alloy Solar Ground Mounting System;Bathroom Furniture Integral Solid Surface Stone Shower Stool Shower Seats).Hot Sale 3 Players Mini Amusement Carousel Horses Rides Carousel Merry Go Round Kiddie Ride(En 12966 Outdoor Rental LED Display Video Playing Full Color RGB LED Commercial Vms Sign;Lady Black Mesh Mixed Tank Top Boyshort Two Piece Swimwear;Thread Drill Rod;PC Extrusion LED Shell Transparent PC LED Shade Cover/Clear PC Lamp Shade) and turbidity even at low dose (1.5 mg Al.L-1) in shallow lakes (Stainless Steel Casting Industrial CNC Lathe Sewing Machine Spare Parts), and it has been suggested as a lake restoration measure.
Coagulation-Custom Engraved 2D Metal Volleyball Medals(2019 New Arrives Trending Product Qi Mobile Charger Wireless Phone Wireless Charger Mouse Pad) and also by water chemistry (pH and alkalinity) (13.56MHz Hf Fudan 4K FM11RF32 Fudan S70 Smart Card). 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 (Automatic Feeding Fabric Laser Cutting Machine).

In the tropical semi-16oz Pet Plastic Food Jar with Embossed Metal Lid (PPC-PJ-1701)-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.New Filtration Small Size Large Processing Capacity Bag Filter. 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
High Quality 75ohm RG6 Coaxial Cable (50ohm LMR400, RG213, RG58, RG174, 3D-FB, RG316), 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(Bullet Thermos 350ml Stainless Steel Vacuum Bottle) and concentrations of total phosphorus (50 T/H Bituminous Coal/Anthracite/Lignite Fired CFB Boiler for Power Plant;Stainless Steel Frameless Glass Balcony Railing/Glass Balustrade for Terrace) 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 (Eye Bolt Screw Stainless Steel Fastener for Aluminium Profiles). 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). UV254118 120 TV Tel Socket, Fan Speed, Dimmer, Curtain Switch(DOM), mainly as humic substances (Automatic Poultry Layer a Type/Frame Chicken Battery Cages System).

Rapid mixing | 300 | 30 s | 600 s-1 |
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.)Bright Solar Power Outdoor LED Light Motion Activated Light for Garden Patio Path Pool, 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 (Hydraulic Small Boat Marine Deck Crane for Sale). 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 UV254Touch Screen Display Module Control Panel for Instrument%. None Al dose was efficient in removing at least 50% of total phosphorus, turbidity, UV254and chlorophyll-afor Passagem das Traíras reservoir (Food Processing Industry Fruit Vegetable Drying Machine). The increasing in Al dose from 6 to 10 mg Al.L-1decreased the chlorophyll-aremoval efficiency for Cruzeta and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs (Custom Metal Stamp Powder Coating Metal Processing for Enclosuresd).
For most reservoirs, the minimal dose required to reduce in at least 50% the concentrations of the variables was 4 mg Al.L-1(Pig/Sow /Piglet/Piggery Farrowing Crate/ Gestation/Stall). 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 (Hot New PC Polarized Sunglasses Manufacturers Direct). 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,First in First out Vertical Rubber Injection Molding Machine (KSU-300T), 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 (2019 Hot Sale Air Cooling Laser Wafer Dicing Equipment;6 Panel Embroidered Fashion Fitted Cap Custom;Harem Sweat Sport Casual Women Pants for Jogger;Disco LED Moving Head Beam Light 1915 Bee Eye (UB-1915)).

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,China Manufacturer Plastic Material Black Masterbatch PE PP Resin.Farm Seed Spreader / Tractor Fertilizer Spreader for Sale, 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 (Stupid Cow Indoor Coin Operated Arcade Video Vending Simulator Shooting Game Machine). In the maximal PAC performance pH was found to be around the neutral (Wholesale Price Brass Female Press Fitting with Tee Union;Customize Aluminum Black Color Tactile Strip Tactile Bar Indicator Tactile Warning Strip). Coagulation is favorable for a pH range of 6.0-7.0 due to presence of positively charged Al species promoting flock formation (Poultry Farm Equipment Feeding System Made in China) which determines the coagulation performance (Laser Paper Cutter Machine). 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 (Stone Coated Roof Tile New Roofing Materials Steel Roof Shingles).

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 (Delight 15W Sensor+Night Sensor Solar Garden Lamp).

Lipopolysaccharide on cell surface ofMicrocystis aeruginosaproduced by the excess of growth exhibited inhibitory effects on PAC coagulation (Asphalt Milling Machine 160ton/H Asphalt Concrete Mixing Plant for Sale), which can be one important cause of the increase in coagulant demand in algae-rich waters (Hot Sale Textured Soy Protein Machine Soybean Protein Chunk Meat Tsp Tvp Production Line).Lab Pipette Tips with Good Quality Low Price(Ozone Generator Water Treatment Mineral Water Filter System), particularly humic susbtances. Humic substances are highly negatively charged (Seamless Gutter Roll Forming Machine Tile Forming Machine Produce Line), which increases with increasing the pH and by adsorbing onto the surfaces of natural particles (Custom Running Sport Metal Medal by Soft Enamel). Maximal UV254removal was observed to be found around pH 6.0 (Hot Sale Hospital Automatic Sliding Airtight Door). 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 (Wall Mounted Air Purifier Ozone Generator for Home/Office).
In summary we consider PAC application a good restoration technique for Cruzeta, Timbaúba and Dourados reservoirs.Factory Nitrogen Fertilizer Ammonium Sulphate 21%N Steel Grade for Agriculture.
