treat your drinking water before disinfection, and your wastewater before it is released into waterways. While wastewater typically only treats down to around 1.0 mg/L phosphate, lower levels are achievable with the right coagulants.

The phosphate will bind to the aluminum ions, precipitate, 15/19

manage to kill back the algae, ALL of that phosphate that was bound up inside the algae cells is immediately released BACK into the water. They will see rebound growth within a week or two.

So, obviously they need to treat the cause of the problem: the phosphate. 12/19

My great grandchild: grand papa, how did you celebrate the semiquincentennial?

Me (92 years old): well, mostly by learning the chemical processes involving pool painting and the phosphate cycles of algae blooms

This chocolate phosphate is perfectly tangy from the acid phosphate & not too sweet.

The young soda jerk told us the first chocolate phosphate she made was for a lady who came in on her 100th birthday, and said she hadn’t had a phosphate here since she was 15. What an honor to make her one!

(typically phosphate, sometimes but rarely nitrogen).

So why, all the sudden, would it be really high in nutrients? My guess is they refilled it with city water. Washington DC like most major metropolitan areas, adds orthophosphate to the water for lead corrosion control. It works beautifully 3/19

Phosphate starvation in tomato activates anthocyanin biosynthesis, in which crosstalk between the phosphate starvation response and the jasmonate pathway may play a key role - Junco et al.

they had high phosphate levels and caused this bloom.

This theory is consistent with the fact that we ALSO saw an algae bloom in 2012 after it was entirely refilled following repairs and renovations. The bottom was still light colored then, but high nutrients lead to a bloom. 7/19

for this, but orthophosphate is also a bioavailable form of phosphate, aka algae food!

Eutrophication, the term used to describe water that is so high in nutrients it causes an explosion of algae growth leading to ecosystem disruption, is defined by water containing more than 0.03 mg/L of 4/19

An Arizona man dies from swallowing a toxic fish tank cleaner called chloroquine phosphate after hearing Trump tout hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the virus. "We were afraid of getting sick," his wife told reporters. "Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure."

Phosphate removal and sequestration is done in wastewater treatment and to manage recreational and drinking water lakes and reservoirs all the time. A water treatment coagulant is all you need to achieve this. These are typically aluminum (or sometimes ferric) based coagulants that are used to 14/19
