The latest data shows that the local emergency plan has been launched, and currently about 240,000 tons of Enteromorpha are salvaged. After comprehensive control and effective disposal, Qingdao has minimized the impact of Enteromorpha disaster.
Causes of Enteromorpha prolifera outbreak in Qingdao;
At present, the core of sewage treatment in most urban sewage treatment plants is secondary treatment: aeration oxidation, which decomposes organic matter in sewage through excessive reproduction of aerobic flora;
Thus, a large number of malodorous colloidal sludge with aerobic bacteria as the main body and a large number of inorganic salts (mainly inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus) are produced. Inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus are dissolved in water, and after filtration, the effluent is clean water that meets the COD standard. Water is a fungal process;
The repeated cycle of algae process can maintain the ecological balance of water body. Because of the fungal process in the sewage treatment plant, it is inevitable that the reclaimed water discharged will produce algae pollution in theory.
What kind of algae disaster breaks out is related to many factors, such as seawater temperature, nutrient concentration, algae competitiveness and so on. For example, Fong et al. found that phytoplankton is the dominant competitor at low nutrient concentration; At high nutrient concentration, attached macroalgae and flaky cyanobacteria are dominant competitors.
