Appropriate technology for recycling of phosphorus from surface water and wastewater
Holba, Marek ; Maršálek, Blahoslav ; Maršálková, Eliška ; Plotěný, Miroslav
There were identified the sources of phosphorus, which should be used to maximize the recycling procedures. To achieve these improvements new recycling technologies were introduced. Currently, there are quite a wide range of technology solutions, where every solution has its pros and cons. And no technology shows itself as clearly the best solution. However in the modern world are technologies focused on recycling procedures of phosphorus in the form of struvite and processing of sewage sludge. While for developing countries appears to be the most appropriate technology based on the separation of urine and manure from livestock.

Manipulation with flow rates in water bodies - the possibilities for inhibition of cyanobacterial blooms development
Maršálek, Blahoslav ; Šejnohová, Lenka ; Vinklárková, Darina ; Plotěný, Miroslav ; Jančula, Daniel
If we compare the sediment capping by active barriers to protect the phosphorus release from sediments with other technologies of manipulation with methods of water discharge, it is clear, that by well-considered manipulations with water discharge, it is possible to reach the same (comparable) results with lower costs and with lower ecotoxicological and limnological risks. By the manipulation of water level, it is possible to reduce cyanobacterial bloom development as supplemental or supporting measure, but the effects may differ in different water bodies and thus it must be consulted always with specialists.

The effect of phosphorus deficiency on growth and primary processes of photosynthesis in algae and cyanobacteria
Zezulka, Štěpán ; Maršálek, Blahoslav
The management of cyanobacterial blooms is connected with the necessity to limit the input of nutrients into surface water reservoirs, especially phosphorus. Higher content of phosphorus or change in N/P ratio towards phosphorus give advance for cyanobacteria. Laboratory cultures of cyanobacteria Synechococcus and green alga Chlorella were cultivated in standard medium (0.18 mM P) and then transferred into medium without phosphorus or with 0.045 mM, 0.09 mM, 0.18 mM and 0.36 mM P. Growth rate (optical density) and parameters of induced chlorophyll fluorescence were measured repeatedly during 7 days of cultivation. Significant inhibitive effect on growth and fluorescence parameters was found in cyanobacteria cultivated in medium without P. On the other hand, green alga did not exhibit any significant sensitivity to the P concentration in the medium.

Detection and localization of cyanobacterial inoculum in the sediments - use knowledge of life strategies to minimize health risks
Šejnohová, Lenka ; Maršálek, Blahoslav ; Novotná, Zlatica ; Maršálková, Eliška
Water bloom (WB) is a global problem that is particularly closely linked with increased inputs of phosphorus to surface waters.. The subsequent accumulation of nutrients in the tank for the development not only of cyanobacteria in the water column, but also their survival in resting stages in the sediment. The quantity (amount) of inoculum (source) of cyanobacteria in the sediments is the primary factor, along with nutrient and climatic conditions, correlates with the resulting amount of algae in the water column during the summer season. Cyanobacterial resting stages in sediments require specific conditions for survival, which moreover genus from the genus (or species), cyanobacteria differ. Knowledge of the life cycle of cyanobacteria is therefore an essential prerequisite for starting a guide to environmentally friendly, with the current low cost of funds, limit the development of WB.
