Parametric optimization of cyanobacterial coagulation at exponential and decline phases by combining polyaluminum chloride and cationic polyacrylamide

Microcystis spp. is the most common and problematic species during cyanobacterial bloom. This study employed Microcystis aeruginosa for coagulation experiments. Effects of polyaluminum chloride (PAC), cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), and pH value on cyanobacterial removal at exponential and decline p...
