title: [Treatment of high algae-laden water by step-recycle counter current flotation].
abstract: High algae-laden water was treated respectively by single-recycle and step-recycle counter current flotation. The results indicate that step-recycle mode of dissolved air water can strengthen capturing of bubbles and flocs association suspension bed, and extend the collision time of smaller flee and bubble because of reducing the thickness of suspension bed and increasing that of transition bed. Given the condition that other parameters were same, the biggest hydraulic loading of single-recycle could reach 11 m/h, and that of step-recycle could reach 17 m/h which is increased by 50%. Efficiency of treatment was improved by a large margin. The recycle ratio of two releasers and position of the pensile releaser influenced removal effect remarkably. The distance between settled releaser and inlet of raw water is 180 cm, and the range of distance between pensile releaser and inlet of raw water is 60-90 cm. The flow of pensile releaser is 2-3 times as much as settled releaser.
