Influence of stabilizer concentration on effectiveness of chlorine as an algicide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cyanuric acid, used as chlorine stabilizer in swimming pool waters, has a relatively minor effect on the algicidal efficiency of free chlorine. The toxicity of free chlorine to three swimming pool algae was reduced slightly by 25 mg of cyanuric acid per liter if inhibiting, but less than algicidal, concentrations of chlorine were employed. Higher stabilizer concentrations (50, 100, and 200 mg/liter) generally resulted in no further reduction in the algicidal efficiency of free chlorine beyond that observed at 25 mg/liter.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa for the evaluation of swimming pool chlorination and algicides.
Concentrations of ammonia and the chlorine stabilizer, cyanuric acid, which could be expected in swimming pools decreased the rate of kill by chlorine of the potential pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The effect of cyanuric acid increased as the concentration of chlorine decreased, a fact of significance from a public health view. Quaternary ammonium algcides had little effect on the kill rate...
متن کاملLysing bloom-causing alga Phaeocystis globosa with microbial algicide: An efficient process that decreases the toxicity of algal exudates
Algicidal microbes could effectively remove the harmful algae from the waters. In this study, we were concerned with the ecological influence of an algicide extracted from Streptomyces alboflavus RPS, which could completely lyse the Phaeocystis globosa cells within two days. In microcosms, 4 μg/mL of the microbial algicide could efficiently remove P. globosa cells without suppressing other aqua...
متن کاملEffect of Common Drinking Water Disinfectants, Chlorine and Heat, on Free Legionella and Amoebae-Associated Legionella
Chlorine and thermal treatments are the most commonly used procedures to control and prevent Legionella proliferation in drinking water systems of large buildings. However, cases of legionellosis still occur in facilities with treated water. The purpose of this work was to model the effect of temperature and free chlorine applied in similar exposure conditions as in drinking water systems on fi...
متن کاملThe physical and rheological properties of egg albumin emulsions are influenced by basil seed gum as the stabilizer
In this study, the effect of basil seed gum (BSG) on the stability and rheological properties of egg white albumin (EWA) emulsions was investigated. A constant amount of EWA (0.5% w/v) and different concentrations of BSG (0-0.3% w/v) were used for the manufacture and stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions (30% w/w). The results showed that by increasing BSG concentration, the storage (21 days)...
