Copper sulfate can be used for algae removal. Copper ions (Cu2+) in copper sulfate are heavy metal ions that have inhibitory effects on the growth and metabolism of algae. Copper ions can bind to thiol groups (- SH) in proteins and enzymes on the surface of algal cells. These functional groups are essential for many important physiological functions of algal cells, such as photosynthesis, respiration, and intracellular material transport. When copper ions combine with them, it can cause changes in the structure and function of these proteins and enzymes, thereby disrupting the normal physiological activities of algal cells and eliminating algae. Let's take a look at its application cases below:
1. Swimming pool algae removal
Copper sulfate is a commonly used algaecide in the maintenance of swimming pools. It can effectively control the growth of algae in swimming pool water, prevent the growth of algae from causing the water to turn green or turbid, and affect the beauty and hygiene of the swimming pool. The general concentration used is around 0.2-1mg/L, and the specific dosage depends on the size of the swimming pool, water quality, and severity of algae.
2. Landscape water algae removal
For landscape water bodies such as lakes and ponds in parks, excessive algal growth may cause eutrophication, produce unpleasant odors, and affect the landscape effect. By appropriately adding copper sulfate, the growth of algae can be inhibited and the quality of landscape water can be improved. However, as landscape water bodies are relatively open ecosystems, greater caution is required when using copper sulfate to avoid causing excessive harm to other organisms in the water.
