Abstract:Polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and Phoslock® are two promising technologies for lake restoration. The objective of this study was to evaluate the synergistic effects of PACl and Phoslock on phosphate and cyanobacteria removal and solids' settling rates during coagulation treatment of water from Lake Kampeska, South Dakota. The lake water, spiked with Anabaena sp., was treated with PACl, Phoslock, and PACl+Phoslock, under controlled laboratory conditions. PACl with 70% basicity at a dose of 8 mg Al/L achieved pho… Show more
