An Innovative Method with Optimized Treatment for Killing Algae in Ballast Water Treatment Based on Ion-Exchange Membrane Electrolysis

Abstract:

Invasive aquatic species has been considered one of the greatest threats to the worlds oceans and marine ecological system. A novel of ships ballast water treatment based on ion exchange membrane electrolysis system to deal with algae has been proved. In this paper, an optimized treatment for inactivating algae is proposed based on the developed ballast water treatment system. In this optimized method, different experimental conditions are studied, which contain the injection times and small injection dose of anodic electrolytic products. The contrast experiments were conducted, the results show that the lethal time and available chlorine dose can respectively save up to 66.67% and 50% under the optimized method. The results show that the proposed have the more efficient kill ability for the algae life.
