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 (Customized Wholesale Waterproof Crossbody Chest Bag Backpack Sling Bag Women Messager Shoulder Bag,Phase Motor). As a result, several chemical methods have been applied to control P internal loading worldwide (Light Weight FRP XPS Composite Panel for Mobile Home Construction;OEM Metal Iron/Carbon/Steel Hammer Forging for Cylinder/Raiway Wheels;Butterfly Pn16 CF8m Water Dual Flap Flapper Type Wafer Check Valve). The most used technique is the precipitation and inactivation of phosphorus by coagulants, especially those based on aluminium (Al) (Auto Parts 3 Points Elr Seats Belts Safety Belts Automotive Belt). When Al salts are added to water, Al+3preferable reacts with PO4-3and forms a precipitate,TPR Vibration Protection Cut Resistant Safety Work Glove for Industrial Purpose Use, flocculation and subsequent sedimentation. Besides this, coagulation and flocculation are also able to remove inorganic and organic suspended particles (Stainless Steel Medical Medicine Trolley Carts Hospital Furniture (SLV-C4016)),CNC Flame Plasma Cutting Machine Flame Cutting Nozzle. 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 (Gdg24 0.55kw 550W 0.75HP 24L Oil Free Air Compressor;Seu 2*8 AWG Concentric Service Entrance Cable;Acrylic Crystal and Enamel Flamingo Bracelet Fashion Jewelry). However alum may result in high concentration of residual Al and is strongly affected by temperature (130lm/W LED High Bay UFO Lamp Fixture with Different Watts 100W 150W 200W) 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 (Male Brass Fittings). A number of laboratory and field experimental studies has shown the superior performance of PAC in both turbidity and phosphorus removal (Auto Electric Car Step Siliding Step with Ce Load 250kg;China Manufacturer Cement Plaster Storage Pressure Tank Container;China Automatic Round Stainless Steel Bar Peeling Lathe Machine;Fabric/ Cloth Insertion SBR/ EPDM/ Nitrile/ Neoprene/ FKM/ Natural Anti-Slip Rubber Flooring;1070 O Aluminium Circle;Activated Carbon Pellet Manufacturer Used for Gas Treatment;Custom High Quality CNC Milling Acrylic Block Stainless Steel Aluminum CNC Precision Milling Service).Stainless Steel DIN1587 Hex Domed Cap Nut for Car/Motor/Bicycle(Auto Starter 0001230002 12V 3.0kw 11t for John Deere;Fashion Italian Style Hotel Furniture Wooden Marble Dressing Table;Computer Table Chair Closet Making Machine Line 4X8 FT Linear 1325 Atc CNC Router;New Product High Quality Home Smart Wireless Video Doorbell Camera) and turbidity even at low dose (1.5 mg Al.L-1) in shallow lakes (Hot Sale Ding Chair Fabric Quality China Anji Bar Stool Supplier), and it has been suggested as a lake restoration measure.

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 (3 Amino 1 2 4 Triazole 5 Thiol). At pH of 6.0-7.European Waterproof Wall Mounted Solid Wood Bathroom Cabinet Sq-201(Naked Mango Premium E-Liquid for Electric Cigarette,M3n 3.6-12V 27.8*32.5mm 12.34W DC Motor for Grass Cutter). Algae also can affect coagulation due to characteristics such as morphology, motility,GMP Certified Collagen Softgel for Fish Collagen(Double Breasted Wool Casual Long Kid Girl Coat Winter Fashion Jacket for ODM OEM,Luxury Fashion Lady Women Shoulder Tote Bag Leather Evening Handbag,J5fn 6-24V 27.8*46.5mm 24.89W DC Motor for Grass Cutter).
In the tropical semi-Digital 8 Channel Tinnitus-Masking Programmable Powerful BTE Hearing Aid-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.China Modern Office Furniture Wooden Display Shelf (CAS-FC1829). 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
Plant Stands & Accessories Glass Hanging Flower Pot Bracket, 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(Kynko Li-ion Cordless Drill with 18V Battery (KD30)) and concentrations of total phosphorus ( Radio etc Use.;7W Sand White Single LED Grille Light Venture Lamp) 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 (AC Magnetic Contactorstc-40 (GMC) Electric Contactor). 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.)Yellow Wall Stacked Stone, Tiger Skin Yellow Cement Based Wall Stone Veneer, 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 (Invt Bd 3000W/5000W Hybrid Solar Power Inverter for Solar Power System Home). 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 UV254Metal Solar Powered Crab Shape Outdoor Garden Ornaments LED Solar Lighting%. None Al dose was efficient in removing at least 50% of total phosphorus, turbidity, UV254and chlorophyll-afor Passagem das Traíras reservoir (Adjustable for Home Appliance Bimetal Temperature Regulator Kst Thermostat). The increasing in Al dose from 6 to 10 mg Al.L-1decreased the chlorophyll-aremoval efficiency for Cruzeta and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs (Sst Tubingd).
For most reservoirs, the minimal dose required to reduce in at least 50% the concentrations of the variables was 4 mg Al.L-1(Han Star 3015 1000W/1500W Fiber Laser Cutting Machine Laser Cutter for Carbon Steel Pipe/Tube Low Price). 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 (3-Axle 30mt LPG Haulage Truck Trailer Depot Gas Transportation Tanker). 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,Electric Vibrating Massage Cream Jar for Cosmetic Packaging, 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 (Wholesale Price DC12V 2835 S-Shape/Zigzag LED Flexible Strip;Wholesale High Quality USB Charging Data Cable for Original Apple iPhone 7 Charger Cable;Printed Circuit Board Mobile Charger PCB Board LED PCB Board Module;m.reclining.cn). However,Electric Rail Transport Wagon Warehouse Transfer Vehicle.
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,Nki Radial Needle Roller Bearing Nki 35/30 Needle Bearing with Inner Ring.on-Line Aoi Machine for Inspection Post Reflowing or Placement (A2000), 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 (Long Service Life Smooth Lead Screw Tr3.5X0.61). In the maximal PAC performance pH was found to be around the neutral (Computerized CNC Turning Machine Metal Lathe Price Ck63L;8mm PVC Coated Galvanized Steel Wire Rope for Lifting). Coagulation is favorable for a pH range of 6.0-7.0 due to presence of positively charged Al species promoting flock formation (Manufacture RP HP UHP Graphite Electrode 300mm 350 with Nipples for Smlting) which determines the coagulation performance (Plywood Hot Press Machine for Veneer Hydraulic Pressing). 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 (Good Quality UPS Batteries 12V 65ah for Burglary Protection System).

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 (Wholesale Events 6FT Wood Dining Round Table). Extracellular and surface-Js500 Twin-Shaft Concrete Mixer for Block Machine(Iphone X Glass Screen Protector, Wall Fan 3 in 1-Competitive Price). Lipopolysaccharide on cell surface ofMicrocystis aeruginosaproduced by the excess of growth exhibited inhibitory effects on PAC coagulation (CNC Router 2030 3D CNC Foam Rubber Gaskets Oscillating Knife Leather Cutting Machine), which can be one important cause of the increase in coagulant demand in algae-rich waters (High Quality Tungsten Carbide Gripper Inserts for Chuck Jaws).40W Hot Sale Acrylic Ceiling LED Panel Light(High Quality Plastic Bulk Dry Food Dispenser Single Cereal Candy Dispenser for Sale), particularly humic susbtances. Humic substances are highly negatively charged (Terminal Making Machines Wall Nail Plastic Injection Molding Machinery), which increases with increasing the pH and by adsorbing onto the surfaces of natural particles (Metal Mesh Screen for Decorative Architectural Metal Mesh for Partition). Maximal UV254removal was observed to be found around pH 6.0 ((Made in China gold sellers) SPA Swimming Pool Water Filter Pump). 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 (Interior Fireproof Rock Wool Wall Insulation Mineral Thermal Insulation Board).
In summary we consider PAC application a good restoration technique for Cruzeta, Timbaúba and Dourados reservoirs.Industrial Use Sandwich Panel Container for Offices/Construction Sites.
