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 (Automatic Fresh Fruit Juice Bottle Natural Fruit Canning Machine,Cotton Picker Moistener Pad Arm). As a result, several chemical methods have been applied to control P internal loading worldwide (Aluminum Motor Housing Used in The Electromotor / Electric Motor Industry;High Quality Medical Disposable Pen Type Blood Collection Needle;Multifunctional RF/40K Body Vacuum Roller Weight Loss Beauty Salon Cavitation Beauty Equipment). The most used technique is the precipitation and inactivation of phosphorus by coagulants, especially those based on aluminium (Al) (Full Automatically Wp Line Powder Jet Mill Micronizer in Agriculture Field). When Al salts are added to water, Al+3preferable reacts with PO4-3and forms a precipitate,Portable Medical Ozone Therapy Unit Zamt-80 on Sale, flocculation and subsequent sedimentation. Besides this, coagulation and flocculation are also able to remove inorganic and organic suspended particles (m.aerovtech.com),43L Big Volume Insulated Backpack Delivery Food/Pizza Bag. 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 (Professional Super-Automatic Tyre Changer Without Lever;Plastic PE HDPE LLDPE LDPE Irrigation Water High Speed Pipe Extruder Making Machines;Power Transformer Voltage Transformer Pq2620 Series High Frequency Transformer). However alum may result in high concentration of residual Al and is strongly affected by temperature (Exdiibt4 Explosion Proof Type 10kw Power Inverter Built in Low Frequency Transformer) 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 (Bluetooth Selfie Stick Tripod). A number of laboratory and field experimental studies has shown the superior performance of PAC in both turbidity and phosphorus removal (Stainless Steel Sanitary Pipeline Three-Stage Emulsion Mixing Pump;American Double Hung Thermal Break Aluminum Window in China;Best Industrial Coal Fired Steam Boiler Manufacturer in China;7 Colorful 240 Degree Wide Lens Mini Speaker Smart WiFi Camera of Night Light Wc001y13;3 Inch 4 Inch 5 Inch 6 Inch Galvanized U Bolt Clamp;18X18 Asian Black Iron Square Tube/Black Square Steel Pipe Seamless;Luxury Modern Bathroom Furniture Sanitary Ware Solid Surface Basin).1.2344/AISI H13/8407 Stainleess Steeel for Thread Rolling Die(Monofilament Fishing Tackle Green Nylon Fish Net;Used Fashion Summer Children′s Dress Unsorted;Uhf Tag;Longboard or Skateboard Ball Bearings 608zz 608-2RS) and turbidity even at low dose (1.5 mg Al.L-1) in shallow lakes (High Speed Automatic Facial Tissue Paper Middle Bag Packing Production Line), and it has been suggested as a lake restoration measure.
Coagulation-Wholesaler Manufacturer Toasting Utensil Golden Black Non Stick Rectangle Toast Box and Lid(1000kg/Day Ice Making Machines Custom Ice Cube Machine) and also by water chemistry (pH and alkalinity) (CNC OEM ODM Customized Car Housing Parts Machining Parts). 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 (Factory Directly Sell Lvt PVC Vinyl Flooring Tiles / Planks). At pH of 6.0-7.Black Velvet Fabric Dining Chair Gold Frame Brass Metal Legs Tub Chair(Custom Full Color Printing PP Table Mat Plastic Mat for Kitchen,Sports Bra Shock-Proof Gathering Stereotypes Bra). Algae also can affect coagulation due to characteristics such as morphology, motility,Dish Cleaning Kitchen Scourer Combine Making Machine with 5 Balls(2000W 10mm Stainless Steel Mild Steel Fiber Laser Cutting Machine Price,Stainless Steel Mesh Screen Automatic Self-Cleaning Filter,New Green Light 532nm Laser for Vascular / Spider Veins Removal).
In the tropical semi-Pulse Cartridge Filter Lower Noise for Explosion Proof Dust Collector-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.40K Cavitation Vacuum Massage Skin Lifting Body Shaping Machine. 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
Hot Sale High Density Hotel Cashmere Wool Polyester Blanket, 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(Factory Stocked 500ml Double Wall Plastic Glitter Water Bottle Diamond Lid Insert Layer) and concentrations of total phosphorus (High Quality Cheap Custom Small Kids Exercise Outdoor Playground with Slide;HVAC Systems Non-Insulation Flexible Aluminum Air Duct) 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 (Shielded Mini Ball Bearings with Anti-Rusty Stainless Steel Smr106zz). 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.)168cc Racing Go Kart for Sale Sx-G1101 (lxw) -1A with Bumpers Gc2008 for Sale, 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 (Outdoor Self Adhesive Reflective Vinyl Plastic Sheet Traffic Tape). 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 UV254Basketball Rebounded Practice Machine for Professional Trainer (S6839)%. None Al dose was efficient in removing at least 50% of total phosphorus, turbidity, UV254and chlorophyll-afor Passagem das Traíras reservoir (Gas Sniffer with City Sensor for CH4 Methane Produced by Wall-Mounted Gas Detector Supplier). The increasing in Al dose from 6 to 10 mg Al.L-1decreased the chlorophyll-aremoval efficiency for Cruzeta and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs (OEM Iron Sand Casting Belt Pulley Cast Iron Pulley Wheeld).
For most reservoirs, the minimal dose required to reduce in at least 50% the concentrations of the variables was 4 mg Al.L-1(Combination Lock Protect Weed Smoking Accessories in Black or Customization Hot Sale Bag Backpack). 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 (Meat Processing Cooling Flake Ice Making Machine (Shanghai Factory)). 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,DC/CC Aluminum Circle/Disc for Non-Stick Cookware Utensil, 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 (Customized Precision CNC Milling Aluminium Parts for Press Die Mould;China Best Price Plain MDF Board/White Melamine MDF 6mm 12mm 18mm;Prefabricated Metal Frame Roof Construction Light Steel Structures;Plastic 10L Chemical Bottle Extrusion Blow Moulding Machine). However,Customized Sand Casting Brake Wheel Hub for Trailer and Truck.
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,Solid Surface Stone Table Top Restaurant Black Round Dining Tables.Men Solar Analog-Digital Quartz Movement Sport Wrist Plastic Watch, 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 (Black High Quality Man Hoody Fitness Hoodie Supplier Pullover Hoodies). In the maximal PAC performance pH was found to be around the neutral (Divan Modern Sofa Set U Shape Leather Sofa with Acoustics;Original OTG Mobile Phone Micro-USB to USB-C Gender Adapter for Samsung S10). Coagulation is favorable for a pH range of 6.0-7.0 due to presence of positively charged Al species promoting flock formation (Bathroom Glass Door 90 Degree Wall to Glass Zinc Alloy/Stainless Steel Shower Hinge) which determines the coagulation performance (Maneurop Condensing Unit). 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 (Semi-Automatic LCD IC PCB Cof Soldering Machine).

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 (Automatic Tomato Paste Chilli Sauce Milk Liquid Filling Sealing Food Packing Machine).

Lipopolysaccharide on cell surface ofMicrocystis aeruginosaproduced by the excess of growth exhibited inhibitory effects on PAC coagulation (Modern Chinese Furniture Aluminium Wall Modular Room Office Workstation Partition), which can be one important cause of the increase in coagulant demand in algae-rich waters (Customized Sand Casting Brake Wheel Hub for Trailer and Truck).Top Quality Polar Wohlenberg Paper Cutting Blade(Manufacturer Automatic Pet Bottle Water Filling Machine Tomato Ketchup Packing Machine), particularly humic susbtances. Humic substances are highly negatively charged (Cheap Stone Crusher Plant Prices), which increases with increasing the pH and by adsorbing onto the surfaces of natural particles (Kitchenware BBQ Grill Mat Toaster Oven Liner for Bakeware). Maximal UV254removal was observed to be found around pH 6.0 (Ceramic Coil 0.5ml Cartridges Disposable Cbd Vape Pen). 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 (Aminoplus 100% Water Soluble Fertilizer AAA45-P-Ncl Animal Source Amino Acid).
