Résumé

Eutrophication has become great concern in recent years due to the fact that rivers, lakes, and reservoirs are the main drinking water source. Studies have been performed to enhance the removal of algae with ClO₂ pre-oxidation, but there was high potential in the formation of chlorite and chlorate. In this study, ultra-sonication was employed to assist algae removal and control disinfection by-products formation in ClO₂ pre-oxidation processes. It was found that solo ultra-sonication for 10 min (algae removal 86.11 ± 2.16%) could achieve similar algae removal efficiency as that with solo ClO₂ (0.5 mg/L) pre-oxidation for 10 min (algae removal 87.10 ± 3.50%). In addition, no formations of chlorite and chlorate were detected in solo ultra-sonication process. Five-minutes ultra-sonication followed by 5-min 0.5 mg/L ClO₂ treatment (total treatment time 10 min; algae removal 93.55 ± 3.22%) provided a better performance on algae removal compared to the solo ClO₂ (0.5 mg/L) pre-oxidation for 10 min. Moreover, chlorite was undetectable. It suggests that the utilization of ultra-sonication in ClO₂ pretreatment for algae removal has highly prevented the formations of chlorite and chlorate.
