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 (Ce Certificate Factory Provide Drink Water Vending Machine,8mm Miniature Ball Screw). As a result, several chemical methods have been applied to control P internal loading worldwide (Down Film Rolling Bag Wrapping Big Bread Packing Machinery 450X;CNC Machine Linear Guide Accordion Bellows Cover;Metal Wire Mesh Knitting Scourer Machine with 220V 380V Voltage). The most used technique is the precipitation and inactivation of phosphorus by coagulants, especially those based on aluminium (Al) (Brown Shoes High Quality Strong Protection Working Shoes). When Al salts are added to water, Al+3preferable reacts with PO4-3and forms a precipitate,Stray Inductance 210~2100uh Frame Core Current-Compensated Common Mode Choke Coils, flocculation and subsequent sedimentation. Besides this, coagulation and flocculation are also able to remove inorganic and organic suspended particles (Flame Redartant/Steel Tape Armored/XLPE Insulated Electric Power Cable),Metal Solar Powered Crab Shape Outdoor Garden Ornaments LED Solar Lighting. 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 (100% Pure PC Suitcase Luggage Aluminum Trolley Bags for Travel;School Exercise Book Making Machine 2.3.4 Colors;Syrup Piston Filling/Cream Liquid Bottle Filling Machine). However alum may result in high concentration of residual Al and is strongly affected by temperature (Bubble Cloth Seersucker Honeycomb Style Polyamide Knit Bikini Fabric) 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 (Custom Gift Box Factory OEM/ODM Products). A number of laboratory and field experimental studies has shown the superior performance of PAC in both turbidity and phosphorus removal (Plastic Tpd E Juice Bottle 10ml with Colorful Cap;LG953 LG956 LG958 Front End Loader Parts Sleeve/Bushing 29270001031;Fast Thermal Cycling High Heat Temperatures Resistance 99% Alumina Ceramic Insulator Rod;Digital Spirit Level Protractor Angle Gauge Meter Bevel Digital Inclinometer;SMC Water Tank Enamelled Steel Molded Drinking Water Tank;IEC Standard FC APC PLC Splitter for Gpon Equipment;Tablet Replacement Parts for Samsung Tab 3 Gt-P5200 LCD Assembly).Electric Vibrating Massage Cream Jar for Cosmetic Packaging(Low Price Promotional Concrete Cement Mortar Plaster Pump Machine;Easy Fans Eyelash Rapid Bloom Premade Volume Fan Lashes;Colorful Sequin Tassel Lace Polyester Fabric 134;Cabinet Base Work Table with Drawers and Sliding Doors) and turbidity even at low dose (1.5 mg Al.L-1) in shallow lakes (High Quality CNC Pipe Tube Fiber Laser Cutting Machine for Auto Silencer Muffler Use), and it has been suggested as a lake restoration measure.
Coagulation-Electric Rail Transport Wagon Warehouse Transfer Vehicle(Battery Crimping Tool for Pex-Al-Pex Multilayre/Copper/Stainless Steel Pipe) and also by water chemistry (pH and alkalinity) (10inch Tire Two Wheel Self Balance Electric Scooter). 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 ((SZ-WSL326) High Quality 6 Seats Partition Vice Cabinet Office Staff Workstation).

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.10m 3.5mm Male to Female Audio Cable for iPhone iPod. 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
Js500 Twin-Shaft Concrete Mixer for Block Machine, 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(Outdoor Food Meal Heating Bag for Travelling and Camping) and concentrations of total phosphorus (Artificial Push up Breathable and Strapless Adjustable Invisible Silicone Bra;Baby PPSU Drinking Bottle) 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 ( Door). 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). UV25440W Hot Sale Acrylic Ceiling LED Panel Light(DOM), mainly as humic substances (Square Shape Glass Perfume Bottle Refillable Glass Perfume Bottle Atomizer Mist Bottle).

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.)Industrial Use Sandwich Panel Container for Offices/Construction Sites, 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 ( Table Gas Stove). 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 UV254Custom Foldable Storage Basket with Metal Handle and Lid%. None Al dose was efficient in removing at least 50% of total phosphorus, turbidity, UV254and chlorophyll-afor Passagem das Traíras reservoir (API-5CT Standard Seamless Steel Pup Joint /Oilfield Services). The increasing in Al dose from 6 to 10 mg Al.L-1decreased the chlorophyll-aremoval efficiency for Cruzeta and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs (Ageing Resistance Silicone Hoses And Fittingsd).
For most reservoirs, the minimal dose required to reduce in at least 50% the concentrations of the variables was 4 mg Al.L-1(Supporting DDR4 RAM Intel Core I5 Mini PC Computer). 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 (Vodafast A2 Stainless Steel Channel Nuts with Long Spring). 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,Automatic Dry and Wet Pig Feeder for Pig Feeding Equipment, 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 (5kw 12V/24V/48V/DC to AC/110V/120V/220V/230V/240V Pure Sine Wave Solar Power Inverter;Aluminum/Cooper/Galvanized Tube Precision Pipe Making Machine;4mm Sheet Metal Bending Machine 100ton Plate Bending Machine with Da52s;www.yanjiamach.com). However,Vci PE Film for Ferrous Metal with Anti-Rust Performance.
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,Solar Garden Peacock Stake with Solar Light for outdoor Decoration.Carrier Roller for Sany Hydraulic Excavator Sy16-Sy850h-8, 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 (OEM Aluminum Cutting Welding Stamping Shaping Fabrication). In the maximal PAC performance pH was found to be around the neutral (Outdoor WPC Wood Plastic Composite Fence Board with High Quality;Fiberglass Water Park Spray Playground Equipment for Sale). Coagulation is favorable for a pH range of 6.0-7.0 due to presence of positively charged Al species promoting flock formation (Dk7725b New Condition Wire EDM Electrical Discharge Machine) which determines the coagulation performance (Hydraulic Oil Pump). 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 (Tractor/Driving Truck/Bus/Special Car/Excavating/Excavator/Bulldozer Transport Low Bed Semi Trailer).

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 (0.5m-2.0m Wire Mesh Belt Shot Blast Machine).

Lipopolysaccharide on cell surface ofMicrocystis aeruginosaproduced by the excess of growth exhibited inhibitory effects on PAC coagulation (Outdoors Gardne Solar LED Wall Spot Lights with Smart Sensor), which can be one important cause of the increase in coagulant demand in algae-rich waters (Movable Oxygen Concentrator of Making High Purity O2 Gas Instead of Psa System).Handle Operation Flanged Lined PFA Butterfly Valve (D41F46)(Laminated Glass Auto Clave with TPC/PLC System (SN-BGF3060)), particularly humic susbtances. Humic substances are highly negatively charged (Automatic Bread Dough Moulding Machine /Dough Sheeter/Arabic Dough Cutter), which increases with increasing the pH and by adsorbing onto the surfaces of natural particles (FRP / GRP Corrugated Sheet Making Machine 3 Layers Making Machine). Maximal UV254removal was observed to be found around pH 6.0 (Yellow 4 Water Solubility Environmental Metallic Paint Water Paint). 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 (PP Square Nail Clip Flat Cable Clips White & Black 14mm).
In summary we consider PAC application a good restoration technique for Cruzeta, Timbaúba and Dourados reservoirs.Plastic Filter/Plastic Mbbr Filter Media for Water Treatment/ Electric Kettle Filtration.
