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 (Yellow Nitrile Fully Dipped Gloves Labor Protective Safety Work Glove,40w Led Linear Lamp Manufacturer Cheap Price Sale). As a result, several chemical methods have been applied to control P internal loading worldwide (750ml Round Shape Beer Wine Liquor Glass Bottle High Quality;M-F1a1 Outdoor Rescue Aluminium Alloy Military Folding Ambulance Stretcher;6 Head Garment Computerized Embroidery Machine Industrial Use for Sale). The most used technique is the precipitation and inactivation of phosphorus by coagulants, especially those based on aluminium (Al) (Carnival Rides Samba Balloon Race Happy Swing Jellyfish for Sale). When Al salts are added to water, Al+3preferable reacts with PO4-3and forms a precipitate,Hot Sale Top Quality BPA Free Biodegradable Bamboo Toothbrush, flocculation and subsequent sedimentation. Besides this, coagulation and flocculation are also able to remove inorganic and organic suspended particles (Hot Sell Best Price Small Silent Diesel Generator Group Electrogene 15 kVA),Industrial Gear Driven Concrete Marble Terrazzo Floor Grinding Machine. 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 (4-Way Brass Angle Valves Chrome Plated Water Supply Stop;Hardware Tools 1.2mm Thickness Wire Pole Pipe Clip Tube Clamps;Hcd600 RF Wireless Remote Control Duplicator Machine for Locksmith). However alum may result in high concentration of residual Al and is strongly affected by temperature (Wallbox Socket Type 2 16A 3.7kw Single Phase EV Charging Point EV Charger for Electricvehicles) 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 (Senken Police Patrol Motorcycle LED Light with Loudspeaker and Siren). A number of laboratory and field experimental studies has shown the superior performance of PAC in both turbidity and phosphorus removal (Factory Price Smart Handheld Printer V5 Hand Jet Printer Handheld Code Printer for Carton;Rice Cracker Core Filling Snacks Food Making Machinery;Duplex Parallel Connection Bag Filter for Filtering Drinking Mineral Water;Customized Speed 110V-220V 60X60X25mm Axial Brushless Cooling AC Ec Powerful Fan;Pickled Steel Plate Electrolytic Tinplate Coil Chrome Coated Price of 1kg Iron;2017 The Newest Moringa Leaf Drying Machine/Black Pepper Dryer Machine;Home Security PRO Hunter RF Signal Detector Detect Bugging Devices in Your Home).Automatic White Cardboard Paper Roll to Sheet Cutting Machine(Frozen Food;Good Quality R134A Refrigerant Copper Tube Fin Heat Exchanger;Double Lock White Plastic Fiber Reinforced Plumbing Flexible PVC Bidet Shower Hose;Customized Plastic Injection Mould Products Industrial Parts Plastic Cross Pipe) and turbidity even at low dose (1.5 mg Al.L-1) in shallow lakes (High Pressure Rubber Hydraulic Hose Assembly), and it has been suggested as a lake restoration measure.
Coagulation-Kids Electric Car with 12V Battery Remote Control(China Wholesale Hot Sale Microfiber Car Cleaning Towel) and also by water chemistry (pH and alkalinity) (9-80V Laser Red Zone LED Work Safety Lights for Forklift Truck). 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 (Pure Drinking Water Filters Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Machine). At pH of 6.0-7.300bar High Pressure Air Compressor with Capacity of 100~500L/Min(Triangle Plastic Checkout Counter Divider Bar with Logo Printed,Hot Sale Environmentally Friendly Outdoor WPC Wall Panel Decking). Algae also can affect coagulation due to characteristics such as morphology, motility,3.5mm, 4.5mm PVC Floor Wooden Color Flooring Plank(Digital Control Gold Powder Coating Machine for Metals,Colorful LCD Display High Quality Cheap Price Optical Fiber Fusion,Pharmaceutical Mini Planetary Ball Mill with Ce).
In the tropical semi-OEM Manufacturer 6 Rolls Shrink Pack BOPP Crystal Tape-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.Pneumatic CNC Router 1325 Multi Heads Pneumatic Furniture Cutting 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
Dia120mm*120mm Casting Swivel Anchor Nut for Formwork and Scaffolding Accessories, 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(Real-Time GPS Padlock Container Tracker GPS Tracking Car/Truck Fleet Management) and concentrations of total phosphorus (Outdoor Food Truck Mobile Food Car for Sale;Food Trailer For Sale) 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 (Medical Equipment One Step Tp Device Syphilis Rapid Test Kit). 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). UV254Hot Sale Jumbo Roll Double Sided Adhesive Tissue Tape for Cars (DTS10G-15)(DOM), mainly as humic substances (Agricultural Machinery Partslinear Bearings Kh3050).

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.)Classical Gym and Commercial Fitness Equipmen Decline Bench T40, 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 (24hrs Continously Running BLDC Motor 3kw 3000rpm 48V). 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 UV254Luxury Brand L-V Genuine Leather Wallet and Genuine Leather Card-Holder%. None Al dose was efficient in removing at least 50% of total phosphorus, turbidity, UV254and chlorophyll-afor Passagem das Traíras reservoir (Factory Supply Cold Rolled Stainless Steel Coil Price). The increasing in Al dose from 6 to 10 mg Al.L-1decreased the chlorophyll-aremoval efficiency for Cruzeta and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs (Masking Film Tape with High-Quality Washi Tape for Painters Bush and Paint Rollersd).
For most reservoirs, the minimal dose required to reduce in at least 50% the concentrations of the variables was 4 mg Al.L-1(2019 Mini I9/I9s Tws Stereo Wireless Headphones Blue Tooth Sport Earphone Earbuds). 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 (All-in-One Fool Metal Continuous Casting Machine/Complete CCM with Very Low Investment). 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,New Arrival Sports Anti UV Protective Arm Sleeves, 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 (JIS G3441 Machining and Structure Alloy Steel Pipe;Girls Unicorn Costume Party Dress Tutu Kids Cute Flower Princess Pageant Carnival Clothes;Agricultural Drip Irrigation Rain Gun System;Hot Selling 10ml Glass Bottle E Juice for Asian Market). However,Automatic Poultry Layer a Type/Frame Chicken Battery Cages System.
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,Round Vibrating Separator Machine - Round Vibratory Sieve.High Strength PVC Foam Board for Building Materials, 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 (Full Automatic Old Car Tyre Recycling Machine /Side Wall Cutter). In the maximal PAC performance pH was found to be around the neutral (China Indoor Fly Killer Kitchen Machine LED Fly Trap Manufacturer;Custom Label Printed Black Matte Smell Proof Aluminum Foil Ziplock Zipper Bags). Coagulation is favorable for a pH range of 6.0-7.0 due to presence of positively charged Al species promoting flock formation (Sany 60 Tons Stc600s Hydraulic Crane Project Truck Crane) which determines the coagulation performance (Promotional Factory Directly Selling 2 Cargo Lashing Ratchet Belt Manufacturer). 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 (Prime Quality Cold Rolled Steel ERW Tube Mill).

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 (Alumina Ceramic Shafts Al2O3 Ceramic Plungers). Extracellular and surface-Hydraulic Metal Chips Block Moulding Machine(air powered fan,Laminated Curtain Wall Glass with Colored PVB Film). Lipopolysaccharide on cell surface ofMicrocystis aeruginosaproduced by the excess of growth exhibited inhibitory effects on PAC coagulation (High Frequency Induction Heating Brazing Machine (JL-15/25)), which can be one important cause of the increase in coagulant demand in algae-rich waters (Hot Sale Copolymer Coated Aluminum Foil Tape for Cable).Aluminum/Cooper/Galvanized Tube Precision Pipe Making Machine(Stainless Steel 1000W Pipe and Sheet Fiber Optic Laser Cutting Machine), particularly humic susbtances. Humic substances are highly negatively charged (IGBT Tilting Medium Frequency Induction Bronze Melting Furnace Price), which increases with increasing the pH and by adsorbing onto the surfaces of natural particles (R134A Best Price Copeland Compressor Zp385kce-Twd-522). Maximal UV254removal was observed to be found around pH 6.0 (Carbide Nozzles Yg6X Tungsten Carbide Sandblasting Nozzles Boron Carbide). 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 (High Quality Adjustable Ball Valve Lockout for 13-70mm Pipe Bd-F05).
In summary we consider PAC application a good restoration technique for Cruzeta, Timbaúba and Dourados reservoirs.Natural Light Green/Beige/Pink Slate Thin Cut Surface Culture Stone.
