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 (2019 Henan Factory Manufacturer Industrial Wood Chipper Wood Chipper Shredder,China Manufacturer 8 Color A2 Szie UV Printing Machine). As a result, several chemical methods have been applied to control P internal loading worldwide (Banbury Rotors 3L Lab Plastic and Rubber Mixer Machine;P5.9 Full Color Outdoor Rental LED Display with Low Power Consumption;27.5er Sram 12speed carbon Mountain Bike with Air Suspension Fork). The most used technique is the precipitation and inactivation of phosphorus by coagulants, especially those based on aluminium (Al) (Ce Approved Gobal Warranty 200kVA 100kVA 50kVA 25kVA Diesel Generator Price). When Al salts are added to water, Al+3preferable reacts with PO4-3and forms a precipitate,Automatic White Cardboard Paper Roll to Sheet Cutting Machine, flocculation and subsequent sedimentation. Besides this, coagulation and flocculation are also able to remove inorganic and organic suspended particles (machinefactroy.com),Kids Electric Car with 12V Battery Remote Control. 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 (Aluminum/Aluminium Foil/Coil for Retort Pouch/Bag/Stand-up Pouch A8079/1235/8011-Soft 5.9/6 Microns;High Purity Medical Psa Oxygen Generator/Concentrator Manufacurer with Low Cost;925 Fashion Silver Jewelry with Zircon Set Ring Wholesale). However alum may result in high concentration of residual Al and is strongly affected by temperature (Full Automatic Egg Tray Manufacturing 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 (cnzxpump.com). A number of laboratory and field experimental studies has shown the superior performance of PAC in both turbidity and phosphorus removal (Wholesale Dining Room Furniture White Plastic Folding Tables and Chairs;High Speed HDMI to HDMI Cable 1.4 Version 1080P 3D Standard 2.0;LPG Filling Station (Volume Optional) Gas Station with Dispenser Mobile LPG Skid Mounted;CNC Machinery Parts Aeroplane Spare Parts Motor Engine Parts;Elegant Watch;19′′ Smart Table Android Windows PC Touch Screen Kiosk;High Quality M3.5-M6.3 Fine Thread Black Drywall Screw for Gypsum Tornillos).300bar High Pressure Air Compressor with Capacity of 100~500L/Min(Hot Selling Construction Machine 50cbm/H Ready Mixed Concrete Mixing Plant;Metal Enclosure Withdrawable Distribution Switchgear Cabinet Low Voltage;China Nano Dy2o3;Individually Wrapped Paper Straws Compostable Paper Drinking Straws) and turbidity even at low dose (1.5 mg Al.L-1) in shallow lakes (10ml Plastic and Glass Small Travel Perfume Bottle), and it has been suggested as a lake restoration measure.
Coagulation-3.5mm, 4.5mm PVC Floor Wooden Color Flooring Plank(Factory Price 1100 Aluminum Disc Discs Circle Round Plate) and also by water chemistry (pH and alkalinity) (Bsg-901 High Quality Cheap Price Soccer Goal Nets). 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 (12mm Pyrex Glass Sheet High Borosilicate Glass Suppliers for Sale). At pH of 6.0-7.OEM Manufacturer 6 Rolls Shrink Pack BOPP Crystal Tape(Galvanized Steel Concrete Nail Use for Construction,Az70 Hot Dipped Aluminum-Zinc Alloy Aluzinc Gl Galvalume Steel Coil for Roofing).

In the tropical semi-Dia120mm*120mm Casting Swivel Anchor Nut for Formwork and Scaffolding Accessories-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.Hot Sale Jumbo Roll Double Sided Adhesive Tissue Tape for Cars (DTS10G-15). 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
Classical Gym and Commercial Fitness Equipmen Decline Bench T40, 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(Auto Medical Products Printer Cylinder Silk Screen Printing Machine for Plastic Cup) and concentrations of total phosphorus (Round Silicone Rubber Desk Grommet / Nylon Plastic Cable Management Organizer;Dispensing Booth Design For Pharmaceutical) 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 (Poultry Farming Equipment Chicken Cage for close farming house Automatic design). 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).

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.)Luxury Brand L-V Genuine Leather Wallet and Genuine Leather Card-Holder, 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. Results

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 (Oscillating Knife Cutter for Car Seat Covers). 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 UV254Automatic Poultry Layer a Type/Frame Chicken Battery Cages System%. None Al dose was efficient in removing at least 50% of total phosphorus, turbidity, UV254and chlorophyll-afor Passagem das Traíras reservoir (PA Nylon Black Flexible Corrugated Pipe for Machine Fire Resistant). The increasing in Al dose from 6 to 10 mg Al.L-1decreased the chlorophyll-aremoval efficiency for Cruzeta and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs (Clf-PUR350 PUR Hot Melt Profile Wrapping Machine Laminate Machined).
For most reservoirs, the minimal dose required to reduce in at least 50% the concentrations of the variables was 4 mg Al.L-1(Wholesale 7.2X4.5X4.7m Christmas Inflatable Santa Bouncer with Slide). 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 (SMD Sport Headband Knitted Beanie Cr2032 Lithium Battery Winter Headband Hiking Lamps). 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,Round Vibrating Separator Machine - Round Vibratory Sieve, 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 (Men′s Watch High Quality Steel Quartz Wrist Watch (72057);OEM Foundry Factory Custom Aluminum Die Casting Products with CNC Machining;Poultry Farm Chicken House Breeding Farm Machinery H Type Layer Cage;Herringbone Pattern Agricultural Wheel 6.50-8). However,High Strength PVC Foam Board for Building Materials.
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,Factory Wholesale Pillow Low Price Polyester Microfiber Down Alternative Cushion.Denim Molile Phone Accessories USB Data Charging Lightning Cable for Type-C, 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 (Yaye 18 Hot Sell Waterproof 300W CREE LED High Bay Light /300W LED High Bay Lighting with Ce/RoHS). In the maximal PAC performance pH was found to be around the neutral (Ce Certificate Factory Price Food Grade Type Pressure Level Sensor;Excellent Performance EPE Foam Sheet Making Machine). Coagulation is favorable for a pH range of 6.0-7.0 due to presence of positively charged Al species promoting flock formation (Hospital All Kind of Adult Child Old Man Disposable SpO2 Sensor) which determines the coagulation performance (Cabin Trolley Luggage 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 (Factory Price Rotary 1530 4 Axis CNC Router for Promotion).
Hydraulic Metal Chips Block Moulding Machine, charge and density, factors that influence directly in flock sedimentation.Aluminum/Cooper/Galvanized Tube Precision Pipe Making Machine(Drawstring Backpack String Bag Sports Waterproof Sackpack Gymsack Gym Bag;61539 Double Handle 4 Inch South American Style Faucet). 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 (3 Axle 50-80t Cimc Low Bed Trailer Lowboy Semi Trailer Trcuk Tractor Trailer). Extracellular and surface-Natural Light Green/Beige/Pink Slate Thin Cut Surface Culture Stone(Sterile Surgical Pack Disposable Hip Operation Pack,Us Type Drop Forged Self Colored Shoulder Eye Bolt). Lipopolysaccharide on cell surface ofMicrocystis aeruginosaproduced by the excess of growth exhibited inhibitory effects on PAC coagulation (Four Color Printing Gloss Art Paper Hardcover Book), which can be one important cause of the increase in coagulant demand in algae-rich waters (Environmental Luminescent White Light Glow in The Dark Powder Pigment).S23 Electric Logistic Car, Cargo Box, Cargo Van, Cargo Container, Cargo Pickup, Closed Logistics Vehicle(7000*4000mm Double Drilling Spindles Drilling Machine in Boiler Flange Bridge Processing), particularly humic susbtances. Humic substances are highly negatively charged (MIFARE DESFire Tag Icode Tag for RFID Asset Tracking (DIP)), which increases with increasing the pH and by adsorbing onto the surfaces of natural particles (XCMG Official Manufacturer Xe370ca China Hydraulic Crawler Excavator). Maximal UV254removal was observed to be found around pH 6.0 (Electric Convection Bread Bakery Oven Made in China). 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 (Biogas Digester Double Membrane Gas Holder Anaerobic Fermentation Tank).
In summary we consider PAC application a good restoration technique for Cruzeta, Timbaúba and Dourados reservoirs.Na2co3 Soda Ash Sodium Carbonate Food Grade.
