The invention discloses a method for efficiently removing
algae based on trace
copper ion activated
calcium peroxide, and under the conditions that the addition amount of Cu (II) is only 15 mu M (1 mgL <-1 >), the
molar ratio of Cu (II) to CaO2 is 1: 7, and the pH is neutral, the removal rate of
algae cells with the concentration of 1.0-2.5 * 10 < 6 >
cell smmL <-1 > is higher than 97%. According to the
system, the circulation of Cu (II) / Cu (I) is promoted by utilizing the
alkalinity of CaO2, more active free radicals such as Cu (III), OH, O2 <-> and < 1 > O2 are generated, and the oxidation
algae removal capacity of the
system is remarkably improved; the direct
attack of
copper ions on algae cells can be inhibited by the mild oxidizing property of CaO2, and the release risk of soluble algae organic matters and microcystic toxins is reduced; ca (OH) 2 generated by
hydrolysis of CaO2 after the reaction can synchronously precipitate algae cells and
copper ions in the
water body, so that the concentration of residual copper is reduced to 30.1 mu gL <-1 > or below, and the risk of secondary
pollution of
heavy metals is effectively avoided. The
coupling system successfully overcomes the defects that traditional H2O2 is fast in
decomposition, narrow in pH application range, inconvenient to transport and the like, has the advantages of being high in algae removal efficiency, high in adaptability,
environmentally friendly and the like, and has good application and popularization value.
