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 (Butterfly Pn16 CF8m Water Dual Flap Flapper Type Wafer Check Valve,Cnc 3020 Router Engraver). As a result, several chemical methods have been applied to control P internal loading worldwide (Auto Parts 3 Points Elr Seats Belts Safety Belts Automotive Belt;Gdg24 0.55kw 550W 0.75HP 24L Oil Free Air Compressor;Seu 2*8 AWG Concentric Service Entrance Cable). The most used technique is the precipitation and inactivation of phosphorus by coagulants, especially those based on aluminium (Al) (Acrylic Crystal and Enamel Flamingo Bracelet Fashion Jewelry). When Al salts are added to water, Al+3preferable reacts with PO4-3and forms a precipitate,WiFi Outdoor Security CCTV Battery Solar Powered Wireless IP Camera, flocculation and subsequent sedimentation. Besides this, coagulation and flocculation are also able to remove inorganic and organic suspended particles (Hand Impact Screwdriver),Crystal or Plastic Pendant Lamp, DIY Shade (WHP-453). 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 (130lm/W LED High Bay UFO Lamp Fixture with Different Watts 100W 150W 200W;Auto Electric Car Step Siliding Step with Ce Load 250kg;China Manufacturer Cement Plaster Storage Pressure Tank Container). However alum may result in high concentration of residual Al and is strongly affected by temperature (China Automatic Round Stainless Steel Bar Peeling Lathe 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 (20800 Mah Power Bank). A number of laboratory and field experimental studies has shown the superior performance of PAC in both turbidity and phosphorus removal (Fabric/ Cloth Insertion SBR/ EPDM/ Nitrile/ Neoprene/ FKM/ Natural Anti-Slip Rubber Flooring;Activated Carbon Pellet Manufacturer Used for Gas Treatment;Custom High Quality CNC Milling Acrylic Block Stainless Steel Aluminum CNC Precision Milling Service;Auto Starter 0001230002 12V 3.0kw 11t for John Deere;Wooden Office Cubicle Workstation 4 Person Modern Design for Sale;Fashion Italian Style Hotel Furniture Wooden Marble Dressing Table;New Product High Quality Home Smart Wireless Video Doorbell Camera).Microfiber Cleaning Cloth Towel Waffle Towel Tea Towel(Hot Sale Ding Chair Fabric Quality China Anji Bar Stool Supplier;1kVA/2kVA/3kVA/4kVA/6kVA/8kVA/10kVA/15kVA/20kVA/30kVA Single Phase Online UPS;Waterproof Outdoor Lighting Four COB 200W LED Flood Light;12oz Dispossable Ripple Wall Paper Cup with Good Insulation) and turbidity even at low dose (1.5 mg Al.L-1) in shallow lakes (Naked Mango Premium E-Liquid for Electric Cigarette), and it has been suggested as a lake restoration measure.
Coagulation-NEMA IP65 Wall Mount Electric Metal Cabinets(M3n 3.6-12V 27.8*32.5mm 12.34W DC Motor for Grass Cutter) and also by water chemistry (pH and alkalinity) (Double Breasted Wool Casual Long Kid Girl Coat Winter Fashion Jacket for ODM OEM). 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 (Large Outdoor Metal Sculpture). At pH of 6.0-7.11mm Neck Crimp Cap Vials with Patch, Cap Septem(Luxury Fashion Lady Women Shoulder Tote Bag Leather Evening Handbag,Exhibition Fiberglass Portable Small Size Beach Flag/Flying Flag). Algae also can affect coagulation due to characteristics such as morphology, motility,Pet Factory Wholesale Black Climbing Wooden Cat Tree (YS98797)(Qtj4-40 Mobile Block Making Machine Price List/Cement Block Maker Machine/Small Manual Block,Kynko Li-ion Cordless Drill with 18V Battery (KD30),Owenlan Factory Custom High Quality Gas Spring Locking Mechanism Steel Gas Spring Lock 600n).
In the tropical semi-Customized Different Red Copper/Brass Hex/Coupling/Teeth/Slotted/Square Nuts-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.10.1 LCD Module 1024*600 Optional Touch Panel for Medical Equipment. 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
Solid Surface Grade Grinding Alumina Tyihydrate, 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(Anon Philippines Hot Selling 4lz-2.5 Mini Rice Wheat Combine Harvester) and concentrations of total phosphorus (AC Magnetic Contactorstc-40 (GMC) Electric Contactor;Hot Sale Essential Oil Diffuser with Aroma Function) 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 (Bottom Gusset Plastic Postal Mailers Bags for Ebay and Amazon). 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). UV254Stranded Loose Tube Armoured Direct Buried Underground Optical Fiber Cable(DOM), mainly as humic substances (Dn630mm Plastic Pipe Butt Fusion Welding Machine).

Rapid mixing | 300 | 30 s | 600 s-1 |
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.)Speed Reducer Gear Parts Aluminum Die Casting Parts for Auto Spare Parts China, 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 (Han Star 3015 1000W/1500W Fiber Laser Cutting Machine Laser Cutter for Carbon Steel Pipe/Tube Low Price). 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 UV254LED Lens 3030 5630 Asymmetric Linear Fresnel Acrylic PMMA Lens%. None Al dose was efficient in removing at least 50% of total phosphorus, turbidity, UV254and chlorophyll-afor Passagem das Traíras reservoir (3-Axle 30mt LPG Haulage Truck Trailer Depot Gas Transportation Tanker). The increasing in Al dose from 6 to 10 mg Al.L-1decreased the chlorophyll-aremoval efficiency for Cruzeta and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs (New Ce CB Approved Garment Steamer China Manufacturerd).
For most reservoirs, the minimal dose required to reduce in at least 50% the concentrations of the variables was 4 mg Al.L-1(Agriculture Cultivator Springs Double Spring Tines 3.5-12mm). 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 (Wholesale Price DC12V 2835 S-Shape/Zigzag LED Flexible Strip). 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,Double Station Pesticide HDPE Bottle Making Machine, 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 (Long Service Life Smooth Lead Screw Tr3.5X0.61;Computerized CNC Turning Machine Metal Lathe Price Ck63L;8mm PVC Coated Galvanized Steel Wire Rope for Lifting;Full Semi Automatic Loading Tube Fiber Laser Cutter Patent Design). However,Intelligent Screw Packing Machine for Lighting Bathroom Hardware Screw Accessories.
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,Hydraulic Valves-Yuken Series Valve-Flow Control Valve- (one-way) Throttle.High Energy Ejector Venturi Gas Scrubber System, 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 (Manufacture RP HP UHP Graphite Electrode 300mm 350 with Nipples for Smlting). In the maximal PAC performance pH was found to be around the neutral (Good Quality UPS Batteries 12V 65ah for Burglary Protection System;Stainless Steel/Brass/Copper/Carbon Steel Woven Wire Mesh with ISO Approved for Filtration). Coagulation is favorable for a pH range of 6.0-7.0 due to presence of positively charged Al species promoting flock formation (Stainless Steel Tube Electric Heater Industrial Immersion Cartridge Heater) which determines the coagulation performance (Anti Corrosion Pvc Roofing Sheets). 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 (Wholesale Events 6FT Wood Dining Round Table).

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 (High Quality Tungsten Carbide Gripper Inserts for Chuck Jaws).

Lipopolysaccharide on cell surface ofMicrocystis aeruginosaproduced by the excess of growth exhibited inhibitory effects on PAC coagulation (Metal Mesh Screen for Decorative Architectural Metal Mesh for Partition), which can be one important cause of the increase in coagulant demand in algae-rich waters ((Made in China gold sellers) SPA Swimming Pool Water Filter Pump).Mimaki SB210 Dye Sublimation Ink for TX400-1800D Inkjet Printer(Interior Fireproof Rock Wool Wall Insulation Mineral Thermal Insulation Board), particularly humic susbtances. Humic substances are highly negatively charged (Hot Sale High Quality Muslim Bridal Wedding Dress), which increases with increasing the pH and by adsorbing onto the surfaces of natural particles (Stainless Steel SS304 and SS316 Closed Body Turnbuckle). Maximal UV254removal was observed to be found around pH 6.0 (OEM Fabric Adjustable Bike Baby Stroller Feeding Feed Bottle Cup Holder). 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 (Gondola Supermarket Shelf Candy Shelf for Confectionery Equipment).
In summary we consider PAC application a good restoration technique for Cruzeta, Timbaúba and Dourados reservoirs.Jingsun off Grid 100kw Solar Power System for Project.
