Abstract
Recently, chitosan has been used as a raw material for synthesis of hydrogels in a wide range of potential and practical applications like wastewater treatment, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. This review represents an overview of the application of chitosan-based hydrogels for wastewater treatment and helps researchers to better understand the potential of these adsorbents for wastewater treatment. It covers recently used and prospected methods for synthesis and modification of these hydrogels. Chitosan-based hydrogels are modified physically and chemically through crosslinking, grafting, impregnation, incorporating of hard fillers, blending, interpenetrating, and ion-imprinting methods to improve adsorption and mechanical properties. Understanding of these methods provides useful information in the design of efficient chitosan-based hydrogels and the select of appropriate pollutants for removal. This review provides a brief outlook on future prospects of chitosan-based hydrogels for wastewater application.

Ghimici L, Constantin M. Removal of the commercial pesticides Novadim Progress, Bordeaux mixture and Karate Zeon by pullulan derivatives based flocculants. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2018; 218:31-38.

Abstract
Cationic pullulan derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated, for the first time, as flocculants for the separation of the commercial pesticides, Novadim Progress (organophosphoric type), Bordeax mixture and Karate Zeon (pyrethroid type) from synthetic wastewater. The investigated polymer samples contained either pendent tertiary amine or quaternary ammonium salts groups. The separation efficiency was followed by UV-Vis spectroscopy, while the information regarding the mechanism involved in the separation of pesticide particles have been obtained by zeta potential. UV-Vis spectroscopy data showed strong pesticide particles/polycation interactions in case of Novadim Progress and Bordeaux mixture (maximum pesticide removal between 90% and 98%). Good separation efficiency (around 80%) of Karate Zeon emulsion was also noticed. The zeta potential measurements indicated that the charge neutralization was the common flocculation mechanism for the removal of these pesticides. In addition, the hydrogen bondings and chelation of copper ions by amide and/or tertiary amino groups of the polycations had a noteworthy contribution to the pesticide removal.

Abstract
The acrylic based hydrogels have attracted the attention of many researchers in the field of pollutants adsorption such as dyes and metal cations due to their high swelling and adsorption capacities. This review introduces acrylic based hydrogels and focuses on their adsorption properties. We first described the methods for synthesizing hydrogels. Usual methods of characterization of acrylic based hydrogels such as swelling, adsorption capacity and desorption efficiency of the pollutants have been investigated. In addition, the adsorption isotherm and kinetic models which determine the mechanism of pollutants' adsorption by hydrogels have been introduced and relations that determine the values of thermodynamic parameters which define accomplishment of adsorption process have been investigated. In the following sections, a perfect insight has been provided on natural and synthetic acrylic based hydrogels. The effective parameters of swelling and adsorption by acrylic based hydrogels have been reviewed and the mechanism of pollutant's adsorption by acrylic based hydrogels has been discussed.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the influence of Tanfloc on Microcystis aeruginosa cell integrity, microcystin-LR (MC-LR), and proteins during flocculation and floc storage. The effects of Tanfloc addition, stirring, and floc storage time were considered to minimize cell damage and the release of MC-LR and proteins. Optimal flocculation conditions (Tanfloc dosage 10.42 mg L-1, rapid agitation for 0.36 min at 568.88 rpm and slow agitation for 14.14 min at 12.1 rpm) were obtained using the response surface methodology. Up to 98.9% of the M. aeruginosa cells were removed intact at low Tanfloc dosage. During floc storage, Tanfloc initially protected the cells. After 8 d, large-scale cell lysis occurred because Tanfloc had substantially decomposed. Nevertheless, Tanfloc also extended the extracellular MC-LR and protein release time to 8 d. This delay ensured adequate time to decontaminate sludge containing the algae, thereby reducing the risk of secondary pollution. In addition, the low cost of Tanfloc facilitates its widespread application in the management of harmful algal blooms.

Responses of wastewater biofilms to chronic CeO 2 nanoparticles exposure: Structural, physicochemical and microbial properties and potential mechanism. WATER RESEARCH 2018; 133:208-217.

Abstract
With the accelerated application of CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs), wastewater treatment plants will increasingly receive CeO2 NPs, thus inevitably causing CeO2 NPs to encounter microaggregates. Here, we comprehensively elucidate the responses in the structural, physicochemical and microbial properties of wastewater biofilms to chronic exposure (75 days) to different CeO2 NPs concentrations, with a particular emphasis on the protective mechanisms of stratified extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs). Chronic exposure to 0.1 mg/L CeO2 NPs boosted the content and broadened the distribution of α-d-glucopyranose polysaccharides (PS), while the sharply increased production and breadth of β-d-glucopyranose PS, forming a formidable shield, was a response to 10 mg/L CeO2 NPs. After the bacteria were exposed to CeO2 NPs, loosely bound EPSs (LB-EPSs) aggregated into macromolecules (increasing in apparent molecular weight (AMW)) but at a lower abundance, whereas the average AMW in tightly bound EPSs (TB-EPSs) decreased. The acetyl content and (α-helix+3-turn helix)/β-sheet value of TB-EPSs increased to resist CeO2 NPs. Furthermore, long-term exposure to CeO2 NPs decreased cell viability, reduced microbial diversity and shifted the microbial composition. N-acylated-l-homoserine lactone concentrations increased with increased density of Pseudomonas, which was associated with PS-regulated control, thus promoting PS production in EPSs in response to CeO2 NPs. These results expand the understanding of how microaggregates resist environmental stress caused by NPs.

Abstract
Natural-polymer based water treatment agents have recently received much more attention due to their environmental friendliness, widespread availability, and prominent structural features. Starch-graft-poly(acrylic acid) (St-g-PAA) is a simple natural-polymer based material that can be obtained easily by a one-step graft copolymerization. When used as a water treatment agent, St-g-PAA exhibits both effective scale-inhibition performance and high turbidity removal efficiency. The scale-inhibition efficiency of St-g-PAA against calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is approximately 94% at the optimal dose in a static test of approximately 40 mg/L. Dispersion, crystal lattice distortion, and chelating effects all play important roles in the scale inhibition. When St-g-PAA is used as a coagulant aid for polyaluminum chloride (PAC) in the flocculation of a real hairwork wastewater, the highest reduction of the optimal PAC dose is more than 30% while the turbidity reduction is about 97% at the same time, both floc size and compactness increase, and the final settling efficiency also improves evidently. The efficient bridging flocculation effects account for the effective turbidity removal. The prominent scale-inhibition and flocculation dual-functionality of St-g-PAA is intrinsically ascribed to its distinct anionic linear branched-chain structure.

Abstract
Different activated carbon materials are prepared from a series of solid wastes (sawdust, acrylic fabric, tire powder and rice husk) by combination of the KOH activation method and steam activation method. The influences of several parameters such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage and temperature on adsorption performance of Pb2+ with those different carbon adsorbents are investigated. The results demonstrate that Crice husk performance well in the adsorption process. In the following, the Crice husk is used to explain the adsorption mechanism of Pb2+ by SEM-EDS, FT-IR and XPS. The results illustrate that the surface oxygen-containing functional groups such as carboxyl, lactone group, phenolic hydroxyl and other alkaline metal ions like Na+ and K+ have significant effect on the adsorption process. A reasonable mechanism of Pb2+ adsorption is proposed that the ion exchange play key roles in the adsorption process. In addition, the effects of Cu2+, Zn2+ on the Pb2+ adsorption capacity with the four carbon adsorbents are also studied and the results demonstrate that other heavy metals play positive effects on the adsorption of Pb2+.

Abstract
The effect of chitosan on the development of granular sludge in upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors (UASB) when treating wastewater polluted with the organic solvents ethanol, ethyl acetate, and 1-ethoxy-2-propanol was evaluated. Three UASB reactors were operated for 219 days at ambient temperature with an organic loading rate (OLR) of between 0.3 kg COD m-3 d-1 and 20 kg COD m-3 d-1. One reactor was operated without the addition of chitosan, while the other two were operated with the addition of chitosan doses of 2.4 mg gVSS-1 two times. The three reactors were all able to treat the OLR tested with COD removal efficiencies greater than 90%. However, the time required to reach stable operation was considerably reduced in the chitosan-assisted reactors. The development of granules in the reactors with chitosan was accelerated and granules larger than 2000 μm were only observed in these reactors. In addition, these granules exhibited better physicochemical characteristics: the mean particle diameter (540 and 613 μm) was approximately two times greater than in the control reactor (300 μm), and the settling velocities exceeded 35 m h-1. The extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in the reactors with the chitosan was found to be higher than in the control reactor. The protein-EPS content has been correlated with the granule size. The analyses of the microbial communities, performed through denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and high-throughput sequencing, revealed that the syntrophic microorganisms belonging to genus Geobacter and the hydrogenotrophic methanogen Methanocorpusculum labreanum were predominant in the granules. Other methanogens like Methanosaeta species were found earlier in the chitosan-assisted reactors than in the control reactor.

Abstract
A pH-responsive amphoteric starch derivative (PRAS) bearing dual functional groups (amino and carboxyl groups) was prepared through etherification of starch with 2-chloro-4,6-diglycino-[1,3,5]-triazine. PRAS exhibits a reversible pH-response property in aqueous solution. The attractive property of PRAS is that it could be used as an effective flocculant for heavy metal-ion (e.g. Cu(ii) and Zn(ii)) removal from wastewater by changing pH. The transition of hydrophobicity–hydrophilicity would produce shrinkage of the polymer matrix, facilitating the release of heavy-metal ions from the saturated flocculant. As an ideal flocculant PRAS displayed outstanding stability and reproducibility, whose remove rate for Cu(ii) and Zn(ii) remained at 93% and 91% after three flocculation/regeneration cycles. A pH-responsive starch-based flocculants containing both cationic and anionic functional groups has been developed. The saturated flocculant can be facilely regenerated and separated from the solution by applying an external pH stimulus.![]()

Abstract
In the face of complex water quality changes, the application of existing cationic polyacrylamide has been largely limited. In this study, a series of cationic polyacrylamides (TPADs) with excellent flocculation/dewatering performance and low dosage were synthesized through photocatalytic surface initiation using acrylamide (AM) and acryloyloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride (DAC) as monomers and nano-TiO2 as an initiator. Characterization using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the structural and morphological properties of TPADs. The initiation mechanism was described and the study on the properties of TPADs shows that the initiation method could obtain the copolymer with extra-high intrinsic viscosity. Furthermore, the flocculation and dewatering performance of TPADs and PADs were investigated in the micro-polluted low turbidity water flocculation test and sludge dewatering test. The application experimental results indicated that TPADs showed satisfactory turbidity removal and sludge dewatering performance by virtue of strong charge neutralization and a bridging effect. The excellent flocculation/dewatering performance was attributed to the photocatalytic surface-initiated method and the nano-TiO2 initiator. Therefore, it is expected to open up new initiation methods in the synthesis of polymeric flocculants for a broad variety of applications. In the face of complex water quality changes, the application of existing cationic polyacrylamide has been largely limited.![]()

Abstract
Natural polymeric flocculant shows effectiveness in wastewater treatment without increasing the environmental burden. The extracellular substance produced by Paenibacillus mucilaginosus WL412 was identified as an anionic polysaccharide composed of five types of monosaccharides, namely, D-mannose, D-glucuronic acid, D-glucose, D-galactose, and L-fucose with the molar ratio of 2.8:1.2:2.0:1.8:0.8. The purified polysaccharide, POS412, presented high efficiency in flocculating coal washing wastewater and kaolin suspension without the assistance of inorganic coagulants. Addition of POS412 resulted in the polymer bridging phenomenon in suspensions, which was observed by means of scanning electron microscopic imaging, size grading, and ζ-potential analyses. More importantly, POS412 exhibited satisfactory stability after storage in various conditions. The flocculation rate was more than 91% for coal washing wastewater when POS412 was stored for 264 h in the wide range of pH (3-11) and temperature (20-50 °C) before use. Results indicate that POS412 is a competent bioflocculant for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
China is the world's largest producer of wigs, and the manufacturing generates large quantities of hairwork effluents. Coagulation/flocculation is an important step in the water treatment process. In this study, two versions of starch-based flocculants were successfully prepared through etherification and graft copolymerization, respectively. Starch-3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl triethyl ammonium chloride (St-CTA-DQ) and starch-graft-poly[(2-methacryloyloxyethyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride] (St-g-PDMC-DQ) both contain strongly cationic quaternary ammonium salt groups, but have differing cationic contents, specifically, the degree of substitution (DS) and grafting ratio (G). Furthermore, the additional functional groups were distributed on different chain sites (the starch backbone for St-CTA-DQ, and the branch chains for St-g-PDMC-DQ). These two flocculants demonstrated superior efficiency for turbidity and UV254 removal in hairwork wastewater as well as better floc properties compared to polyaluminum chloride. The effects of pH, flocculant dose, and cationic group contents (DS and G) were systematically investigated. Consequently, it was determined that a higher cationic content in both the flocculants led to better flocculation performance as well as increased removal rates of both turbidity and UV254. This was primarily due to improved charge neutralization, which highlighted the preference towards a lower optimal dose. In addition, flocculation performance worsened as the pH level increased. Overall, St-g-PDMC-DQ exhibited similar flocculation performance to St-CTA-DQ. However, the wastewater treated by St-g-PDMC-DQ showed lower residual turbidity than when treated by St-CTA-DQ. This was attributed to the distinct branch chain architecture of St-g-PDMC-DQ, which was beneficial for coagulating the uneasily flocculated contaminants in water, such as smaller-sized colloids and water-soluble organic substances. Flocculant structural factors, specifically charge properties and chain architecture, heavily affected the final flocculation performance.

Abstract
Natural polysaccharides, derived from biomass feedstocks, marine resources, and microorganisms, have been attracting considerable attention as benign and environmentally friendly substitutes for synthetic polymeric products. Besides many other applications, these biopolymers are rapidly emerging as viable alternatives to harmful synthetic flocculating agents for the removal of contaminants from water and wastewater. In recent years, a great deal of effort has been devoted to improve the production and performance of polysaccharide bio-based flocculants. In this review, current trends in preparation and chemical modification of polysaccharide bio-based flocculants and their flocculation performance are discussed. Aspects including mechanisms of flocculation, biosynthesis, classification, purification and characterization, chemical modification, the effect of physicochemical factors on flocculating activity, and recent applications of polysaccharide bio-based flocculants are summarized and presented.

Abstract
Palm oil processing is a multi-stage operation which generates large amount of effluent. On average, palm oil mill effluent (POME) may contain up to 51, 000 mg/L COD, 25,000 mg/L BOD, 40,000 TS and 6000 mg/L oil and grease. Due to its potential to cause environmental pollution, palm oil mills are required to treat the effluent prior to discharge. Biological treatments using open ponding system are widely used for POME treatment. Although these processes are capable of reducing the pollutant concentrations, they require long hydraulic retention time and large space, with the effluent frequently failing to satisfy the discharge regulation. Due to more stringent environmental regulations, research interest has recently shifted to the development of polishing technologies for the biologically-treated POME. Various technologies such as advanced oxidation processes, membrane technology, adsorption and coagulation have been investigated. Among these, advanced oxidation processes have shown potentials as polishing technologies for POME. This paper offers an overview on the POME polishing technologies, with particularly emphasis on advanced oxidation processes and their prospects for large scale applications. Although there are some challenges in large scale applications of these technologies, this review offers some perspectives that could help in overcoming these challenges.

Abstract
A new commercial cationic polyelectrolyte chitosan (CM), obtained from the waste of mushroom production, was examined using models of water and wastewater namely kaolin and palm oil mill effluent (pome). As it is biocompatible, widely available, and economically feasible, chitosan mushroom has high potential to be a suitable replacement for alum. Also, it can be a promising alternative to chitosan obtained traditionally from Crustaceans due to its higher zeta potential and homogeneity based on the raw material required for its production. A wide range of coagulant dose (5-60 mg l-1) and wastewater pH (2-12) were taken into account to find the optimal conditions of coagulation. The optimal doses are 10 and 20 mg l-1 at best pH (11 and 3) when treated with kaolin and palm oil mill effluent, respectively, while 1200 mg l-1 of alum was not enough to reach the efficiency of chitosan mushroom. On the other hand, the optimum dose of chitosan mushroom (20 mg l-1) at pH 3 of pome produced (75, 73, and 98%) removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), and total suspended solids (TSS), respectively. The significant potential of chitosan mushroom was proved by zeta potential measurement. Indeed, it possesses the highest zeta potential (+70 mV) as compared to the traditional chitosan produced from crustaceans. In short, chitosan mushroom as a biocoagulant is eco-friendly and it enhances water quality that meets the requirements of environmental conservatives.

Abstract
In this study, a series of cationized starch-based flocculants (starch-3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl triethyl ammonium chloride, St-CTA) containing various quaternary ammonium salt groups on the starch backbone were prepared using a simple etherification reaction. All of the prepared starch-based flocculants show effective performance for the flocculation of kaolin suspension, two bacterial (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) suspensions, and two contaminant mixtures (kaolin and each bacterium) under most pH conditions. St-CTA with a high substitution degree of CTA demonstrates improved contaminant removal efficiency because of the strong cationic nature of the grafted quaternary ammonium salt groups and the charge naturalization flocculation effect. The antibacterial effects of St-CTA were also evaluated, considering that many quaternary ammonium salt compounds elicit bactericidal effects. Three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix spectra and direct cell morphological observation under scanning electron microscopy reveal that the starch-based flocculants exhibit better antibacterial effects on the Gram-negative bacterium E. coli than on the Gram-positive bacterium S. aureus. The thicker cell wall due to the presence of abundant peptidoglycan and teichoic acids of S. aureus than E. coli explains the uneasy breakage of S. aureus cell wall after being attacked by the cationized starch-based flocculants.

Abstract
Combining coagulant and ballast to remove cyanobacteria from the water column is a promising restoration technique to mitigate cyanobacterial nuisance in surface waters. The organic, biodegradable polymer chitosan has been promoted as a coagulant and is viewed as non-toxic. In this study, we show that chitosan may rapidly compromise membrane integrity and kill certain cyanobacteria leading to release of cell contents in the water. A strain of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii and one strain of Planktothrix agardhii were most sensitive. A 1.3 h exposure to a low dose of 0.5 mg l-1 chitosan already almost completely killed these cultures resulting in release of cell contents. After 24 h, reductions in PSII efficiencies of all cyanobacteria tested were observed. EC50 values varied from around 0.5 mg l-1 chitosan for the two sensitive strains, via about 5 mg l-1 chitosan for an Aphanizomenon flos-aquae strain, a toxic P. agardhii strain and two Anabaena cylindrica cultures, to more than 8 mg l-1 chitosan for a Microcystis aeruginosa strain and another A. flos-aquae strain. Differences in sensitivity to chitosan might be related to polymeric substances that surround cyanobacteria. Rapid lysis of toxic strains is likely and when chitosan flocking and sinking of cyanobacteria is considered in lake restoration, flocculation efficacy studies should be complemented with investigation on the effects of chitosan on the cyanobacteria assemblage being targeted.

Abstract
In this work, a series of quaternary ammonium salt grafted starch flocculant, starch-graft-poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride (St-g-PDMC), with different grafting ratios was prepared by a simple method. Various characterization techniques were employed to investigate the structure and charge property of the starch-based flocculants. The efficiencies of St-g-PDMC for flocculation of kaolin and Escherichia coli suspensions as well as their mixtures were systematically examined in laboratory scale. In addition to environmental factors, such as flocculant dose and pH, the effects of grafting ratio were also evaluated. Results indicated that St-g-PDMCs exhibited dual functionality of high flocculation effects and antibacterial properties. Moreover, the flocculation and antibacterial mechanisms were investigated in detail based on apparent flocculation performance, charge properties, floc structures (floc size and its two-dimensional fractal dimension), and cell surface morphology, respectively.

Abstract
The molecular structure of a material substantially determines its final application performance. In this work, a series of starch-based flocculants with different charge densities and average graft chain lengths were prepared by the co-graft polymerization of acrylamide and [(2-methacryloyloxyethyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride] (St-g-PAM-co-PDMC). The flocculation performance of St-g-PAM-co-PDMC was studied systematically at neutral pH using kaolin suspension and sodium humate (NaHA) aqueous solution as synthetic wastewaters. The effects of the two structural factors on the flocculation efficiency of the starch-based flocculants have been investigated. The experimental results showed that the charge density and average graft chain length contributed distinctly to flocculation performance during the removal of both kaolin particles and NaHA under insufficient and excessive flocculant dose conditions. The flocculation mechanisms of this starch-based flocculant were discussed in detail on the basis of the structure-activity relationship, which are significant to optimize the flocculation conditions and guide the development of novel high-performance flocculants.

Abstract
Biomass is abundant and recyclable on the earth, which has been assigned numerous roles to human beings. However, over the past decades, accompanying with the rapid expansion of man-made materials, such as alloy, plastic, synthetic rubber and fiber, a great number of natural materials had been neglected and abandoned, such as straw, which cause a waste of resource and environmental pollution. In this review, based on introducing sources of discarded biomass, the main composition and polymer chains in discarded biomass materials, the traditional treatment and novel approach for reutilization of discarded biomass were summarized. The discarded biomass mainly come from plant wastes generated in the process of agriculture and forestry production and manufacturing processes, animal wastes generated in the process of animal husbandry and fishery production as well as the residual wastes produced in the process of food processing and rural living garbage. Compared with the traditional treatment including burning, landfill, feeding and fertilizer, the novel approach for reutilization of discarded biomass principally allotted to energy, ecology and polymer materials. The prepared functional materials covered in composite materials, biopolymer based adsorbent and flocculant, carrier materials, energy materials, smart polymer materials for medical and other intelligent polymer materials, which can effectively serve the environmental management and human life, such as wastewater treatment, catalyst, new energy, tissue engineering, drug controlled release, and coating. To sum up, the renewable and biodegradable discarded biomass resources play a vital role in the sustainable development of human society, as well as will be put more emphases in the future.

Abstract
The functional properties and flocculation efficiency of purified Albizia saman (AS) and Albizia glaberrima (AG) gum exudates modified by graft copolymerization with acrylamide were investigated. The grafting efficiency of AS and AG was 54 and 58%, respectively. The cold water-insoluble gel of native AS and AG was 38.23 and 35.55%, which increased to 39.75 and 40.55% after graft copolymerization. Graft copolymerization of AS and AG gums reduced their oil binding and emulsion capacity from 4.89 and 3.44% to 3.69 and 2.40%, respectively. The dissolution kinetics of the native gums between 40 and 90°C and 0 and 150 min revealed a steady increase in solubility of the native gums from 6.05 to 9.53 g/L (AS) and 5.90 to 8.78 g/L (AG). The flocculation efficiency of the native AS and AG gums at 50 ppm concentration was 74.30 and 74.73%, which increased to 98.46% and 98.29% in the graft copolymerized gums, respectively.

Abstract
Cyanobacteria blooms are a risk to environmental health and public safety due to the potent toxins certain cyanobacteria can produce. These nuisance organisms can be removed from water bodies by biomass flocculation and sedimentation. Here, we studied the efficacy of combinations of a low dose coagulant (poly-aluminium chloride-PAC-or chitosan) with different ballast compounds (red soil, bauxite, gravel, aluminium modified zeolite and lanthanum modified bentonite) to remove cyanobacterial biomass from water collected in Funil Reservoir (Brazil). We tested the effect of different cyanobacterial biomass concentrations on removal efficiency. We also examined if zeta potential was altered by treatments. Addition of low doses of PAC and chitosan (1-8 mg Al L-1) to the cyanobacterial suspensions caused flock formation, but did not settle the cyanobacteria. When those low dose coagulants were combined with ballast, effective settling in a dose-dependent way up to 99.7% removal of the flocks could be achieved without any effect on the zeta potential and thus without potential membrane damage. Removal efficacy was influenced by the cyanobacterial biomass and at higher biomass more ballast was needed to achieve good removal. The combined coagulant-ballast technique provides a promising alternative to algaecides in lakes, ponds and reservoirs.

Abstract
Removal of cyanobacteria from the water column using a coagulant and a ballast compound is a promising technique to mitigate nuisance. As coagulant the organic, biodegradable polymer chitosan has been promoted. Results in this study show that elevated pH, as may be common during cyanobacterial blooms, as well as high alkalinity may hamper the coagulation of chitosan and thus impair its ability to effectively remove positively buoyant cyanobacteria from the water column. The underlying mechanism is likely a shielding of the protonated groups by anions. Inasmuch as there are many chitosan formulations, thorough testing of each chitosan prior to its application is essential. Results obtained in glass tubes were similar to those from standard jar tests demonstrating that glass tube tests can be used for testing effects of coagulants and ballasts in cyanobacteria removal whilst allowing far more replicates. There was no relation between zeta potential and precipitated cyanobacteria. Given the well-known antibacterial activity of chitosan and recent findings of anti-cyanobacterial effects, pre-application tests are needed to decipher if chitosan may cause cell leakage of cyanotoxins. Efficiency- and side-effect testing are crucial for water managers to determine if the selected approach can be used in tailor-made interventions to control cyanobacterial blooms and to mitigate eutrophication.

Abstract
China is a major textile manufacturer in the world; as a result, large quantities of dyeing effluents are generated every year in the country. In this study, the performances of two cationic starch-based flocculants with different chain architectures, i.e., starch-graft-poly[(2-methacryloyloxyethyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride] (STC-g-PDMC) and starch-3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (STC-CTA), in flocculating dissolved organic matter (DOM) in dyeing secondary effluents were investigated and compared with that of polyaluminum chloride (PAC). In the exploration of the flocculation mechanisms, humic acid (HA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were selected as main representatives of DOM in textile dyeing secondary effluents, which were humic/fulvic acid-like and protein-like extracellular matters according to the studied wastewater's characteristics based on its three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix spectrum. According to experimental results of the flocculation of both the real and synthetic wastewaters, STC-g-PDMC with cationic branches had remarkable advantages over STC-CTA and PAC because of the more efficient charge neutralization and bridging flocculation effects of STC-g-PDMC. Another interesting finding in this study was the reaggregation phenomenon after restabilization at an overdose during the flocculation of BSA effluents by STC-g-PDMC at a very narrow pH range under a nearly neutral condition. This phenomenon might be ascribed to the formation of STC-g-PDMC/BSA complexes induced by some local charge interactions between starch-based flocculant and the amino acid fragments of protein due to charge patch effects.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that a combination of coagulant and ballast could be efficient for removal of positively buoyant harmful cyanobacteria in shallow tropical waterbodies, and will not promote the release of cyanotoxins. This laboratory study examined the efficacy of coagulants [polyaluminium chloride (PAC) and chitosan (made of shrimp shells)] alone, and combined with ballast (lanthanum modified bentonite, red soil or gravel) to remove the natural populations of cyanobacteria collected from a shallow eutrophic urban reservoir with alternating blooms of Cylindrospermopsis and Microcystis. PAC combined with ballast was effective in settling blooms dominated by Microcystis or Cylindrospermopsis. Contrary to our expectation, chitosan combined with ballast was only effective in settling Cylindrospermopsis-dominated blooms at low pH, whereas at pH≥8 no effective flocculation and settling could be evoked. Chitosan also had a detrimental effect on Cylindrospermopsis causing the release of saxitoxins. In contrast, no detrimental effect on Microcystis was observed and all coagulant-ballast treatments were effective in not only settling the Microcystis dominated bloom, but also lowering dissolved microcystin concentrations. Our data show that the best procedure for biomass reduction also depends on the dominant species.
