Algal organic matters (AOM) produced by cyanobacteria is an important part of the organic pollution and deterioration of water quality. Due to the complex composition, high solubility and easy dispersion of AOM, its flocculation characteristics become an important factor affecting the treatment for cyanobacteria-containing water. In this study, the cyanobacteria both in the Lab- and Taihu-environment were taken as research objects, aiming at the flocculation characteristic analysis of their extracellular organic matters (EOM) and intracellular organic matters (IOM) with the release risks. Results showed that EOM required more coagulant dosage than IOM and its removal effect was relatively lower. The complex water environment factors in Taihu Lake might cause easier separation of cyanobacterial AOM, which increased the removal efficiency of EOM and IOM by 11.05–26.18% and 8.54.-12.8%, respectively. The flocculation efficiency of cyanobacterial AOM was not only affected by the zeta potential driven charge neutralization, but also by the component distribution and content of AOM. Aromatic protein-like microbial metabolites were the main combination targets of coagulants rather than humic acids and fulvic acids. The wider floc particle size range and worse floc uniformity of cyanobacterial EOM was also one of the reasons for its poor coagulation effect. This paper provides an important theoretical basis and data support for the targeted flocculation and removal of cyanobacterial AOM.
