Coupling effect of oxidation and flocculation of reagent of H₂O₂-Fe²⁺ was investigated in the process of algal pollution removal in batch experiment. Algae were cultured in room, and the algae were principally Chlorella and Scenedesmus. Chlorophyll α , ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus was analysis. In the process of experiments, effects on pollution removal efficiency of dosage ratio of H₂O₂ to Fe²⁺ were studied by adjusting dosages of H₂O₂ and Fe²⁺ respectively. The results showed that reagent of H₂O₂-Fe²⁺ has high removal efficiency for algal pollution, and the removal percents of chlorophyll CI , ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorous were all near 90%. Simultaneously, the traditional acidic water quality (pH3-5) limit was break. At neutral condition, the removal of algal pollution was as the same as or better than that of acidic condition. At neutral condition, an organic coupling effect of oxidation of hydroxyl radical and flocculation of complexes of Fe³⁺ was achieved.
