Abstract:
Simulated low turbidity and micro-polluted water was used as raw water and aluminium sulfate was used as coagulant, the flocs growth process, two-dimensional perimeter fractal dimension (Dpf), specific surface and the relationship between flocs characteristics and coagulation efficiency under three common coagulation mechanisms (charge neutralization, bridging and sweep flocculation) were investigated. The results indicated that the highest growth rate S (0.951), stable flocculation index (FI) value (3.7%) and two-dimensional perimeter fractal dimension 588) of flocs were formed under bridging dominated the coagulation mechanism. Additionally, the flocs stick together in clumps with porous space in such condition and its specific surface was between that formed by sweep flocculation and charge neutralization as the following hierarchy: sweep flocculation (83.646 m2/g)≤bridging (98.808 m2/g)≤charge neutralization (116.046 m2/g). The FI value, S and Dpf had a significant linear correlation with the turbidity removal efficiency, the correlation coefficient reaching up to 0.979, 0.982 and 0.963, respectively. The flocs with higher specific surface and bigger adsorption capacity may be contributed to a higher organic matter removal.
