Analysis of Granulometric Composition of Algal Suspensions in Wastewater Treated with Hydroponic Method

Abstract: The aim of the study was to determine the changes in suspension particle size identified in biologically treated wastewater, which was then treated in hydroponic system with use of engineering lighting by the light-emitting diodes (LED). The study was subjected to wastewater purified under laboratory conditions, in a hydroponic system using the effect of macrophytes Pistia stratiotes and growing algae. Measurement of particle size was made using a laser granulometer. Analysis of the results showed that the add… Show more

“…Together with other microorganisms, organic matter, and mineral matter, they form flocs which are characterised by multimodal size distribution and varied strength (Fettweis et al 2014). Determination of the size distribution of those particles in wastewater allows the choice of a suitable method of their removal (Bawiec et al 2017;Kuśnierz and Wiercik 2016;Huang et al 2010). That parameter, apart from density and porosity, is one of the factors in the estimation of the ability of flocs for sedimentation or flotation (Bawiec et al 2017;Wu and He 2012;Barbusiński and Kościelniak 1995).…”
