Article Synopsis
  • The study explores chemical flocculation techniques for removing algae from water and wastewater using various synthetic polyelectrolytes.
  • Cationic polyelectrolytes effectively cause algal flocculation, while anionic and nonionic polymers do not, despite their attachment to algal surfaces.
  • The process relies on the bridging of algal cells by long polymer chains, and factors like pH, algal concentration, and growth phase influence the necessary dosage of the cationic flocculant.
