Red tide is a kind of marine disaster caused by the accumulation or proliferation of microalgae and other organisms in a short period of time, and utilizing modified clay to control and inhibit red tide is the preferred method. Among them, the application potential of organic-modified clay is high; unlike inorganic and microbial modifications, it has a broad-spectrum removal capacity on red tide algae at extremely low dosages. However, it has some disadvantages such as severe toxicity and high residual turbidity, leading to several limitations in its practical application. Therefore, it has become urgent to select organic-modified reagents with higher efficiency, weaker toxicity and lower residual turbidity. In this study, the typical red tide alga——
