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 (Induction Heater Electric High Temperature Furnace for Casting,6 Oz Paper Cups With Lids). As a result, several chemical methods have been applied to control P internal loading worldwide (Tsudakoma Zax-N Air Jet Looms Year 2007 210 Cm 2861 Dobby Weaving Textile Machinery;Baby Teething Toy Wooden Bunny Round Ring Teether;FTTH ONU Device Pon Epon ONU/Olt 2 Port WiFi Pots Compatible with Huawei Zte Nokia). The most used technique is the precipitation and inactivation of phosphorus by coagulants, especially those based on aluminium (Al) (CNC Machining Aluminum/Stainless Steel/Copper Filler Necks Flanges). When Al salts are added to water, Al+3preferable reacts with PO4-3and forms a precipitate,Fein Titanium Bi-Metal Oscillating Saw Blade, flocculation and subsequent sedimentation. Besides this, coagulation and flocculation are also able to remove inorganic and organic suspended particles (Round Rectangular Rain Downspout Pipe High Speed Roll Forming Machine),Diesel Engine Parts Cylinder Head for Mitsubishi 4D30A/4D31 Me999863. 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 (Hot Sale 99% Powder Form CAS 70288-86-7 Ivermectin with Best Price;New Arrival Sports Anti UV Protective Arm Sleeves;HVAC Connected Large Area Scent Diffusion System with 2 Bottle). However alum may result in high concentration of residual Al and is strongly affected by temperature (Fashion Leather Wristband USB Disk 4GB to 32GB) 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 (Raycus 50W Fiber Laser Marking Machine with Automatic Focusing System). A number of laboratory and field experimental studies has shown the superior performance of PAC in both turbidity and phosphorus removal (Multiple Selection Foldable Fashion Waterproof Travel Toiletry Cosmetic Makeup Bag;Top Quality Model Tqlq Series Combined Paddy Cleaner for Rice Processing Plant;Eco Brava Small Mud Interlock Brick Press Machine;7 Inch Diamond Double Row Abrasive Grinding Wheels for Stone Polishing;Indoor Amusement Empty Arcade Cabinet Machine;Textile Machine Parts Multiple Pattern Box;Elevator Door Phone Industrial Telephone Knzd-15 for Clean Room with Double Loudspeaker).FM Mini Portable Voice Music Amplifier Wired Microphone for Teachers with HiFi Sound(Accept Customization Perfume Direct with Good Price;AAC Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Brick Making Machine;9KW Face Mask Maker Machine;Cooking Oil Filters South Africa Cooking Oil Cleaner and Filter) and turbidity even at low dose (1.5 mg Al.L-1) in shallow lakes (Geekvape Aegis Squonk Tc Kit 100W Wholesale Price E Cigarette), and it has been suggested as a lake restoration measure.
Coagulation-Handrail Fitting / Stainless Steel Round & Square Tube Connector(FM Mini Portable Voice Music Amplifier Wired Microphone for Teachers with HiFi Sound) and also by water chemistry (pH and alkalinity) (Kindergarten Themes Children Furniture Sets Classroom Adjustable Baby Chair). 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 (Travel Jewelry Storage Bag). At pH of 6.0-7.Mobile Fast Food Vending Hot Dog Concession Trailer/Cart Pizza Truck/Mobile Food Car(2400 Dpi Resolution Offline CTP Offset Printer,Trailer Part Coupling). Algae also can affect coagulation due to characteristics such as morphology, motility,BRT Gasoline Log Splitter 22 Ton Firewood Processor(Small MOQ Food Grade Glass Bottle Wine Cork Stopper,High Quality Precision Plastic Mold/Mould Insert,Disposable Medical Surgical Staples Skin Stapler and Skin Staple Remover).
In the tropical semi-Android Data Cable Mobile Phone USB Cable Mobile Phone Cables-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.Rubber Product Making Machinery / Car Floor Mat Hydraulic Vulcanizing Press. 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
Single Prong Metal Chrome Pegboard Bracket Merchandising Display Hook, 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(China Genuine Leather White Color Safety Shoes) and concentrations of total phosphorus (HS20-600 Shipping Lifting Device Customized Hydraulic Station;Customized Cotton Pullover Hoodies with Embroidery Logo Company Workwear Hoodie) 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 (Zp9 Punches and Dies Rotary Tablet Press for USA Market). 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).

2.4. Data analysis
PAC performance was evaluated in terms of removal efficiency (R.E.)Top Quality Vehicle GPS Tracker with Fuel Cap Sensor M508, 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 (Ykk Series of Air-Cooled 6kv Medium-Sized High-Voltage Three-Phase Asynchronous Motor). 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 UV254Professional Produce Dmp-430A Vacuum Tray Sealer%. None Al dose was efficient in removing at least 50% of total phosphorus, turbidity, UV254and chlorophyll-afor Passagem das Traíras reservoir (Frontlit PVC Flex Banner for Outdoor Advertising). The increasing in Al dose from 6 to 10 mg Al.L-1decreased the chlorophyll-aremoval efficiency for Cruzeta and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs (www.wwtpcn.comd).
For most reservoirs, the minimal dose required to reduce in at least 50% the concentrations of the variables was 4 mg Al.L-1(60 Ton Track Material Handling Excavator for Sale). 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 (Industrial Aluminum Extrusion Profiles 6063 T5). 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,Cation Printing Effect Micro Fleece, Jacket Fabric (nautical blue), 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 (Dn200-8inch-EPDM-Rubber Seat Double-Flanged 24V/DC Electric Rotary Actuator PVC/Plastic Butterfly Valve;Patened Design Large Mich Indoor Trampoline Park for Kids;China Supply High Quality MIFARE® DESFire® EV1 2K/4K/8K RFID White PVC Card;Motorcycle Spare Part Motorcycle Engine Kit Gaskets for YAMAHA Fz16-Oumurs).

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,Stable Quality Vacuum Heat Treatment Atmosphere Sintering Furnace.Linear Block Bearing Abba Brh25b Brh20b Brh15b Brh30b Brh35b Brh45b CNC Linear Carriage, 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 (TUV Standard China Jump Park Free Jumping Bounce Bed Trampoline Park for Kids). In the maximal PAC performance pH was found to be around the neutral (Hot Sale Glass Manual Salt Grinder Pepper Mills/Spice Jars; Portable Home Dehumidifier for Whole House). Coagulation is favorable for a pH range of 6.0-7.0 due to presence of positively charged Al species promoting flock formation (LED Display Fixed Co Gas Monitor Toxic Gases Analyzing) which determines the coagulation performance (Restaurant Furniture Industrial Vintage Toledo Wooden Bar Stools Dining Chairs). 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 (Rare Earth Metal Material Cerium Target for Magnetron Sputtering 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 (Composite Suspension Transmission Insulator String with Electrical Power Fitting). Extracellular and surface-Cartoon Design Decorative PVC Sheet for Wall Panel Moulding(Automatic Kitchen equipment Steak Beef Fish Bacon Slicer -Hot Sales,SUS304 or 316L Stainless Steel Vacuum Kettle Steam Cooker). Lipopolysaccharide on cell surface ofMicrocystis aeruginosaproduced by the excess of growth exhibited inhibitory effects on PAC coagulation (Aluminum DJ Truss for Exhibition Lighting Truss), which can be one important cause of the increase in coagulant demand in algae-rich waters (Biodegradable PLA Film for Food /Fruit Packaging).4 Fibers Wall-Mounted FTTH Distribution Box(Automatic Paver Block Making Machine for Sale), particularly humic susbtances. Humic substances are highly negatively charged (Brake Banjo Bolt), which increases with increasing the pH and by adsorbing onto the surfaces of natural particles (12 Hooks Wood Coffee Mug Holder Rack for Kitchen Storage). Maximal UV254removal was observed to be found around pH 6.0 (Outdoor Body-Building Sitting Device for Improving Stability of Lower Limbs). 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 (Commercial Overhead Automatic Aluminum Insulated Roller Shutter Door for Garage or Workshop).
In summary we consider PAC application a good restoration technique for Cruzeta, Timbaúba and Dourados reservoirs.4-20mA Signal Steam Directional Flow Pneumatic Control Valve.
