摘要
Photocatalysis is an efficient advanced oxidation process that provides a promising alternative for pollution control during algal blooms in lakes or water reservoirs. Previous research has mainly focused on the destruction of algal cells by photocatalysis, whereas the release and control of concomitant secretions specially intracellular organic matter (IOM) is undervalued. Herein, we studied the removal efficiency and mechanism of algal IOM extracted from Microcystis aeruginosa during stationary phase by the combined process of pre-photocatalysis with a novel composite of Bi 2 O 3 -TiO 2 /PAC (Bi-doped TiO 2 nano-composites supported by powdered activated carbon) followed by enhanced coagulation with aluminum sulfate (AS) coagulant. Optimized photocatalysis and coagulation combined treatment (PC) was indicated to enhance IOM removal with 64%, 92% and 100% for DOC, absorbance at 254 nm (UV 254 ) and the optical density at 680 nm (OD 680 ) respectively. Pre-photocatalysis reduced the required AS coagulant dose and weakened the effect of solution pH. Photocatalysis was more inclined to remove humic substances and building blocks than high-molecular weight components, while coagulation alone displayed preference for high-molecular weight biopolymers and protein-like substance. Pre-photocatalysis was complementary with subsequent coagulation for efficient removal of protein-like substances and fractionation with medium molecular weight of 0.5–1 kDa. The produced flocs revealed that the Bi 2 O 3 -TiO 2 /PAC adsorbing IOM acted as a flocculation core to improve coagulation performance. Besides, the combined PC process was proved to perform well to co-existing algal pollution without damaging cells integrity and enhanced algal cells removal from 26% by coagulation alone to 61%. Therefore, this combined treatment was an effective method for the removal of IOM of Microcystis aeruginosa and control cyanobacteria bloom.
