This study aims at examining the performance of the ClO2 on treating ballast water of Dalian new port area foreign trade oil pool in the cases of different experimental parameters, and Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (CR), Gymnodinium catenatum (GC) and Gymnodinium cf. mikimotoi (GCM) are used for this experiment. The results shows that under certain test condition, the removal rates are in proportion to the dosage of ClO2 and reaction time, and inversely proportion to pH value, humic acid and ammonia nitrogen content. Accordingly, on operating at the optimal dosage of ClO2 and parameters of experiment, this process is proven to be an effective technology to remove these three algae and organic compounds in ballast water. In ballast water, the removal ability of ClO2 for these three algae is less sensitive to pH value, humic acid and ammonia nitrogen content than to ClO2 dosage and reaction time. Removing GC, GCM and CR with ClO2 are attributed to the second order reaction. Investigating the performance of such process, could serve to develop management strategies that enable mitigating the impacts of harmful substance in ballast water and help improving and ensuring quality of ballast water.
The performance of flocculants prepared by poly aluminum chloride (PAC) and polyacrylamide (PAM) on treating ballast water collected at the Dalian new port area, the evaluation depending on the values of reaction parameters, and kinetics mechanism of flocculation were investigated in this study. Accordingly, the flocculants of 0.1 g·L(-1), prepared by mixing PAC of 10% with PAM of 2.0‰, enabled the removal rate of zooplankton and phytoplankton to reach 91% in ballast water at 20 °C. Based on flocculation kinetics mechanism analysis, the efficient vortex size during stirring should be larger than the floc particles, and gradient of fluctuating velocity provide the impetus for turbulence flocculation. The results of this study could be relevant to understanding particle-floc interactions during developmental flocculation, and during application of ballast water treatment.
