Abstract:Many lakes, reservoirs and other water bodies in China are seriously eutrophicated with the occurenc of seasonal cyanobacteria blooms, which seriously threatens the safety of drinking water. In this study, water samples with different algal contents were treated by ozonation, and the release and transformation of algal inclusions during the oxidation process were investigated. The dynamic changes of water quality parameters such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), chlorophyll a (Chl-a), ${\rm{NH}}_4^{+} $-N, ${\rm{NO}}_3^{-} $-N, total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and microcystin-LR (MC-LR) were analyzed. According to the characteristics of high DOC and ${\rm{NO}}_3^{-} $-N contents in the oxidized effluent, commercial A520 and magnetic MIEX resin were selected for advanced adsorption treatment. The results showed that with the prolongation of ozonation time, the cell inclusions in granular algae were gradually dissolved and degraded by oxidation. For water samples with high algal content, ${\rm{NH}}_4^{+} $-N accumulated rapidly during the oxidation process, and the organic nitrogen mainly converted to ${\rm{NH}}_4^{+} $-N. However, for water samples with low algal content, organic nitrogen and ${\rm{NH}}_4^{+} $-N rapidly converted to ${\rm{NO}}_3^{-} $-N, and the final ratio of ${\rm{NH}}_4^{+} $-N to TN was less than 10%. The concentration of MC-LR increased first and then decreased during the ozonation processes, and the the undegraded could be effectively removed by two kinds of anion-exchange resins. Meanwhile, the contents of DOC and ${\rm{NO}}_3^{-} $-N in water can be significantly reduced by resin adsorption treatment. Therefore, ozonation coupled with anion exchange resin adsorption can realize the deep purification of algae-laden water, providing a new idea for emergency treatment of algae-laden water. Key words:algae blooms/ excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy/ oxidative degradation/ anion exchange resin/ microcystin-LR.
