Abstract

The algae bloom biomass in the water reservoir 'Rybnik' is an important problem, and not only in Poland [1, 2]. The algae growth in the water affects its odour, colour, taste and quality [3]. Algae bloom biomass removed from water can be treated in the following ways: - disposal in sanitary landfills, - storage on special dumping grounds, - fermentation, - dewatering and incineration. In this paper the physicochemical composition and thermal analysis of the biomass of algae bloom dried at 378 K or in the open air are described. Thermal analytical measurements were made in an air atmosphere.
