Removal of Microcystis aeruginosa using nano-Fe3O4 particles as a coagulant aid

Abstract: Blue-green algae bloom is of great concern globally since they adversely affect the water ecosystem and also drinking water treatment processes. This work investigated the removal of Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) by combining the conventional coagulant polyaluminum chloride (PACl) with nano-Fe3O4 particles as a coagulant aid. The results showed that the addition of nano-Fe3O4 significantly improved the removal efficiency of M. aeruginosa by reducing the amount of PACl dosage and simultaneously hasteni… Show more

“…Now, a dilemma had arisen in accounting for the magnetic moment of a ferrite such as magnetite, Fe3O4 (or FeO.Fe2O3) (Boczkaj and Fernandes, 2017;Cruz et al, 2017;Chella et al, 2017;Pan et al, 2017;Zhang et al, 2015). The theoretical number of unpaired electrons for that formula was 14, that is, 5 each for each of the Fe 3+ ions and 4 for the Fe 2+ ion.…”
