Problems solved by technology

Among them, the use of flocculation and adsorption of clay particles to remove algae in physical methods is currently one of the internationally recognized methods, but its disadvantage is that it takes a long time to remove algae, generally 2 to 3 days
Chemical methods usually use algicides such as organic bromine algicides, copper salts, potassium permanganate and other chemical agents to achieve the purpose of algae removal. Chemical methods have obvious algae removal effects, but cause environmental pollution or destroy ecological balance.
The biological method of algae removal technology should adopt methods such as microbial control, algae-eating organisms, and aquatic plant inhibition. In theory, biological algae removal is the most environmentally friendly means of controlling algae, but due to its long operating cycle and slow effect, And from a technical point of view, it is difficult to implement

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for efficiently removing algae from water bodies utilizing ultrasonic-treated carbon nanotubes. The method comprises the steps of: firstly adding carbon nanotubes to tap water to prepare carbon tube aqueous solution with certain mass concentration; secondly adjusting the pH value of the carbon tube aqueous solution to 5.0-9.0 with NaOH solution or HCl solution; then placing a container holding the carbon tube aqueous solution with pH value adjusted in an ultrasonic device; and finally adding the ultrasonic-treated carbon tube suspension to water bodies containing algae, quickly stirring and shaking uniformly, and then standing and settling the mixed liquid of carbon nanotubes and algae to efficiently remove algae from the water bodies. According to the invention, the used carbon nanotubes are a novel carbon material, which has strong agglomeration and settling capability to algae; and as compared with the traditional carbon material such as activated carbon, the carbon nanotubes have higher removal rate and higher removal speed of algae, and are simple in operation and wide in application conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of water treatment and relates to a method for efficiently removing algae in a water body by utilizing carbon nanotubes. technical background [0002] With the rapid development of social economy and the rapid increase of population, a large amount of untreated industrial wastewater, domestic sewage and agricultural wastewater are discharged into natural waters indiscriminately, and the process of eutrophication in water bodies is accelerated, which in turn leads to frequent occurrence of algal blooms and algae blooms , excessive algae have seriously affected water quality, causing serious harm to human health, ecology and landscape. [0003] At present, the methods of removing algae in water bodies at home and abroad can be mainly divided into three categories: physical methods, chemical methods and biological methods. Among them, the use of flocculation and adsorption of clay particles to remove al...
