Coagulation/flocculation-flotation harvest of Microcystis aeruginosa by cationic hydroxyethyl cellulose and Agrobacterium mucopolysaccharides

Jinxia Zhou et al.

Summary: Efficient removal of Microcystis aeruginosa, a harmful cyanobacterium, was achieved by using cationic hydroxyethyl cellulose (CHEC) in combination with Agrobacterium muco-polysaccharides (AMP) and a surfactant. CHEC exhibited cyanocidal activity and coagulated a significant portion of M. aeruginosa biomass within a relatively short time. AMP acted as an adhesive flocculation aid, while a surfactant facilitated the flotation of the formed flocs, resulting in a high removal efficiency. The developed bio-based materials show promising potential for sustainable control of cyanobacterial blooms.

Zhihong Yin et al.

Summary: Chitosan-clay composite materials are efficient and environmentally friendly flocculants with great potential in microalgae harvesting. By analyzing the influences of different external factors on microalgae harvesting efficiency, a reasonable relationship between CTS-clays and external factors was established. Experimental results showed that CTS/KAL, CTS/MML, and CTS/DTE can effectively harvest microalgae without affecting the properties of biomass, and can support water resource recycling and re-cultivation.

Synthesized cationic starch grafted tannin as a novel flocculant for efficient microalgae harvesting

Yaohui You et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel tannin-based flocculant (TCCs) was synthesized and successfully grafted onto cationic starch-based flocculants (CCs). Various analyses confirmed the grafting of tannin onto the CCs skeleton. TCCs exhibited excellent harvesting performance at low dosages and had better reflocculation ability. The introduction of tannin allowed TCCs to combine with specific proteins and form compact flocs, leading to dosage savings and improved harvesting efficiency.

Low Levels of Contaminants Stimulate Harmful Algal Organisms and Enrich Their Toxins

Evgenios Agathokleous et al.

Summary: A widespread increase in intense phytoplankton blooms has been observed in lakes worldwide since the 1980s. Recent scientific evidence suggests that pollution, even at low concentrations below the toxicological threshold, is linked to the intensification of harmful algal blooms. These contaminants enhance the formation of harmful colonies, increase the production and release of toxins, and reduce the efficacy of algaecides. Climate change and nutrient enrichment, as well as low-level pollutants, are all causal mechanisms contributing to algal blooms.

Efficient removal of algae and turbidity from water by a composite coagulant composed of a cationic starch and attapulgite

Jin JiaSheng et al.

Summary: In this study, a series of composite coagulants (atp-st-CTA) composed of a cationic starch (st-CTA) and attapulgite (ATP) were fabricated to effectively coagulate kaolin and Chlorella suspensions. The coagulation mechanisms of atp-st-CTA were investigated and it was found that the complete charge neutralization due to st-CTA and the enhanced sedimentation by ATP synergistically removed turbidity and algae from the water efficiently. This talented material has great potential in water treatment applications due to its advantages of environmental friendliness, low cost, and high efficiency.

Magnetic Fe3O4/attapulgite hybrids for Cd(II) adsorption: Performance, mechanism and recovery

Jie Liu et al.

Summary: A Fe3O4 decorated attapulgite adsorbent (FA) was prepared for Cd(II) removal from wastewater, which was later turned into a CdS/FA photocatalyst. With in situ growth of Fe3O4 on attapulgite, the FA adsorbents showed increased surface area and improved adsorption sites. Strong interaction between Fe3O4 and ATP resulted in enhanced adsorption performance for Cd(II). The waste FA adsorbent could be easily separated and converted into a CdS/FA photocatalyst, displaying satisfying degradation efficiency for tetracycline.

Cyanobacterial dominance and succession: Factors, mechanisms, predictions, and managements

Zeshuang Wang et al.

Summary: Eutrophication of natural water bodies globally has led to cyanobacteria becoming dominant in phytoplankton communities, causing significant environmental and economic harm. Cyanobacterial succession poses challenges for effective bloom treatment, with current studies lacking a comprehensive review of advances in this field. Future management strategies for controlling cyanobacterial blooms may involve reducing nutrient inputs, artificial mixing of waters, and biological control methods.

Summary: Harmful algal blooms in water have become more frequent due to severe eutrophication and extreme climate. Photocatalysis is seen as an effective method for inactivating harmful algae. Recent research has focused on understanding the basic mechanisms and modifying techniques of photocatalytic materials for deactivating algae. The performance of various photocatalysts in terms of chlorophyll-a and cyanobacteria removal have been evaluated based on quantitative metrics such as quantum yields, space time yields, and figures of merit.

The suitability of titanium salts in coagulation removal of micropollutants and in alleviation of membrane fouling

Yonghai Gan et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the performances of three types of titanium coagulants in water treatment and found that titanium xerogel (TXC) showed better results in reducing membrane fouling. TXC demonstrated promising potential as a coagulant due to its superior floc properties, weaker pH-dependence, and higher resistance to coordination with organic pollutants. The observation sheds new lights on the fabrication and application of coagulants in various scenarios.

Yangrui Huang et al.

Summary: Ultrasound-enhanced coagulation is effective in removing algal cells in algae-laden water, with high-frequency ultrasound at 470 and 780 kHz showing greater improvement in coagulation compared to low-frequency ultrasound at 29.4 kHz. Different damage mechanisms were observed between low-frequency and high-frequency ultrasound, with the latter causing nonviolent impairment and reversible effects. Optimization of energy density for each frequency is crucial for achieving satisfactory removal of harmful algal cells.
