紫外辐射对小球藻混凝效果作用途径探讨

针对藻类在常规水处理过程中难以被有效去除的现状,采用紫外辐射对藻类混凝过程进行强化处理.结果表明,随着紫外照射时间的增加,混凝后对藻细胞和浊度的去除均呈先上升后下降的趋势,并在照射50 min时达到最大值.PAC(聚合氯化铝)投加量为5 mg·L~(-1)时,照射样的除藻率和去浊率达到最大,分别比空白样高20.1%和18%左右.pH值在6~9范围内,紫外辐射强化混凝效果的变化较小.溶液pH=8、紫外照射50 min,混凝后的除藻率和去浊率分别达到了93.5%和90.6%.此时,藻细胞Zeta电位最大,同时释放出藻黏液,有利于混凝沉降.而当紫外照射超过60 min后,出现细胞膜破裂,胞内有机物渗出,使得溶液中的有机物浓度急剧上升,Zeta电位开始下降,不利于后续混凝的进行.

Effect of UV Light Radiation on the Coagulation of Chlorella and Its Mechanism

Considering algae were difficult to be effectively removed in conventional water treatment process, UV radiation was used to enhance the coagulation of algae in this study. The results showed that with the increase of radiation time, the removal rates of both algae and turbidity experienced a decrease after an increase, and reached their maximum values at 50 min. When the dosage of PAC was 5 mg ·L^-1, the removal rates of algae and turbidity of the radiated sample were 20.1% and 18% higher than the blank sample, respectively. When pH ranged from 6 to 9, the coagulation efficiency varied little. At pH 8 and with a radiation time of 50 min, the removal rates of algae and turbidity reached 93.5% and 90.6%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Zeta potential reached the maximum, and the algae generated extracellular organic matter, which favored the subsequent coagulation. After radiated for 60 min, the algal cells was destroyed, leading to a release of intracellular organic matter into the solution. Accordingly, the Zeta potential decreased, which had a negative effect on the subsequent coagulation process.
