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 (6.2mmx6.2mmx4.3mm SMD Waterproof Tact Switch,Bearing Accessories Bearing Ball Bearing Rollers). As a result, several chemical methods have been applied to control P internal loading worldwide (PP Yarn Water Filter Cartridge for Large Flow Rate;2019 New Products Wall-Mounted Household Natural Gas Alarm Low Power;Taizhou Huangyan Laboratory Room 60 mm Plastic Injection Petri Dish Mould). The most used technique is the precipitation and inactivation of phosphorus by coagulants, especially those based on aluminium (Al) (High Density White Magic Sponge Magic Eraser Melamine Foam Cleaning Sponge Car Cleaning Sponge). When Al salts are added to water, Al+3preferable reacts with PO4-3and forms a precipitate,Interlocking Waterproof Removable Anti-Slip PVC Garage Floor Tile, flocculation and subsequent sedimentation. Besides this, coagulation and flocculation are also able to remove inorganic and organic suspended particles (18w Pd Wall Charger For Iphone 11),500ml Amber Pharmaceutical Glass Bottle Medicine Bottle Chemical Bottle Pesticide Bottle. 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 1: 1 High Quality Same Sound Effect Bluetooth Earphone Airpods for Apple iPhone; 42′ LG LED TV Backlight Lens Strips/Bars/Spears; Drying Equipment). However alum may result in high concentration of residual Al and is strongly affected by temperature (Customized Acrylic Plastic Sign Board Design Customized Size) 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 (Wall Mounted 7.68 Kwh for Home Energy Storage System). A number of laboratory and field experimental studies has shown the superior performance of PAC in both turbidity and phosphorus removal (Solar PV Detached 30W 12inch Roof Mount Solar Ventilation Attic Vent (SN2014003);Chinese 1kw Vertical Axis Wind Turbine for Home Use;2.45 2.45. inch OLED display 304X96 DOT Matrix MONO OLED; Temperature Controller Thermostat 110V for Cabinet Use;Best Seller Popular Women Customized Grey Workout Leggings;11kv 15kv 33kv Pole-Mounted Hermetically Seal Distribution Transformer;Customized Epoxy Plated Super Power Neodymium Magnet Bonded Magnetic).Click Lock Waterproof Plastic Vinyl Plank Spc Flooring Tile(High Quality Precision Aluminum Automatic Lathe CNC Machining Parts;200m Deep Top Driving Tractor Mounted Water Well Drill Equipment;Foundry Pouring Systems Pouring Ladle with Price;20FT T11 T14 Transport Tank Container Motor Oil ISO Tank Container) and turbidity even at low dose (1.5 mg Al.L-1) in shallow lakes (Customized EPS/EPP Mold From Factory with ISO), and it has been suggested as a lake restoration measure.
Coagulation-18X18 Asian Black Iron Square Tube/Black Square Steel Pipe Seamless( Label) and also by water chemistry (pH and alkalinity) (304/304L 316/316L Seamless Stainless Steel Pipe for Heat Exchanger). 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 (Hot Selling Household Cleaners Laundry Detergent Powder).

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.Edo Cute Kids Cartoon Waterproof Picnic Lunch Food Wine Insulated Durable Tote Storage Cooler Bag. 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
Industrial and Commercial Screw Compressor Water Chiller, 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(High Quality 26ml Platinum Cured Oil Concentrate Silicone Jars DAB Wax Container) and concentrations of total phosphorus (Manufacture Aluminum Outdoor Event Smart Design Truss Stage;m.sajoo-switch.com) 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 (Nylon Watch Bands with Metal Buckle 20mm Strap). 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). UV254Outdoor Self Adhesive Reflective Vinyl Plastic Sheet Traffic Tape(DOM), mainly as humic substances (High Precision Ultrasonic Vibro Screen for Refractory Material Separating).

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.)Automatic Vacuum Packing Premade Tray Filling&Sealing Machine, 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 (Y32f-112lm8 Small and Light PCB Relays with High Power for Comunication Equipment). 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 UV254220kv Composite Suspension Insulators for Transmission and Distribution Line%. None Al dose was efficient in removing at least 50% of total phosphorus, turbidity, UV254and chlorophyll-afor Passagem das Traíras reservoir ( Door Mat). The increasing in Al dose from 6 to 10 mg Al.L-1decreased the chlorophyll-aremoval efficiency for Cruzeta and Passagem das Traíras reservoirs (Medical Mask Machined).
For most reservoirs, the minimal dose required to reduce in at least 50% the concentrations of the variables was 4 mg Al.L-1(Easy-to-Use School Office Invisible Stationery Tape). 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 (Commercial Tow-Able Diesel Portable Movable Rotary Screw Air Compressor). 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,Luolin Bathroom Valve Brass Angle Valve Fitting Control Splitter Shut Water Corner Valve, Chrome 04-7, 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 (Brc Welded Wire Mesh Fence/3D Curvy Welded Wire Mesh Fence;A4;High Efficiency Hook Type Shot Blasting Machine for Sale;Car Relay Socket With Wiring 5pin High Quality Supplier).

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,Intelligent Robotic Soldering Machine (Computer Based) / Soldering Robot.Custom PC 3m Adhesive Electrical Device Embossing Membrane Switch Panels, 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 (Non-Toxic RTV Silicone Sealant of Full Automatic Machine). In the maximal PAC performance pH was found to be around the neutral (High Tensile Forged Chain with Conveyor for Conveying System;M5 SMD with Internal Blind-Hole Thread with Pin (groove)). Coagulation is favorable for a pH range of 6.0-7.0 due to presence of positively charged Al species promoting flock formation (Interlocking Waterproof Removable Anti-Slip PVC Garage Floor Tile) which determines the coagulation performance (High Quality 210X45mm Steel Plank for Scaffolding). 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 (Best Quality Popular Lovely Washable Pet Accessories Luxury Soft Dog Bed).

Lipopolysaccharide on cell surface ofMicrocystis aeruginosaproduced by the excess of growth exhibited inhibitory effects on PAC coagulation (Double Arm Medical Pendant for Anesthesia (HFP-DS240/380)), which can be one important cause of the increase in coagulant demand in algae-rich waters (High Quality Galvanized Welded Wire Mesh Panel Roll).60 Grit Mini Abrasive Flap Disc for Carbon Steels(Telescopic Aluminum Square Tent Pipe&Drape for Wedding/Event), particularly humic susbtances. Humic substances are highly negatively charged (RFID cashless wristband), which increases with increasing the pH and by adsorbing onto the surfaces of natural particles (Ce Eco-Friendly 24V Electric Motor Operated SS304 Water Flow Control Valve for Drinking). Maximal UV254removal was observed to be found around pH 6.0 (Incoloy 825 Pipe for Industry Application). 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 (New Type Portable 380V Electric Winch in Stock).
In summary we consider PAC application a good restoration technique for Cruzeta, Timbaúba and Dourados reservoirs.High Strength Magnesium Sheet Az31b Hot Rolling Process Without Any Defects.
