[Treatment of high algae-laden water by step-recycle counter current flotation].

High algae-laden water was treated respectively by single-recycle and step-recycle counter current flotation. The results indicate that step-recycle mode of dissolved air water can strengthen capturing of bubbles and flocs association suspension bed, and extend the collision time of smaller flee and bubble because of reducing the thickness of suspension bed and increasing that of transition bed. Given the condition that other parameters were same, the biggest hydraulic loading of single-recycle could reach 11 m/h, and that of step-recycle could reach 17 m/h which is increased by 50%.

[Morphological characteristics of algae floc and its relation with flotation].

Microcysits aeruginosa (MA) was removed by polyaluminium chloride (PAC) in the coagulation-flotation process. The test studied removing effect and morphological characteristics of PAC-MA flocs in the different coagulation conditions and discussed the correlation of them. Fractal dimension was measured by image analysis.
