Application of Two Indigenous Strains of Microalgal Chlorella sorokiniana in Cassava Biogas Effluent Focusing on Growth Rate, Removal Kinetics, and Harvestability

Microalgae cultivation in wastewater is an emerging approach to remove its contaminants and generate microalgal biomass. This study aimed screen isolate potential strains a cassava biogas effluent (CBEW) treatment system produce algal Chlorella sorokiniana P21 WB1DG were isolated from CBEW found grow by utilizing various carbon sources. Experiments conducted batch reactor using unsterilized substrate done evaluate the nutrient removal growth of CBEW. The results showed that C. could achieve biomass accumulation more than 2564 1301 mg L−1, respectively. efficiencies chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorous (TP), inorganic nitrogen (TIN) up be 63.42, 91.68, 70.66%, respectively, culture 73.78, 92.11, 67.33%, culture. Harvestability strain was examined several coagulant–flocculants. FeCl3 90% cells. Nutrient rates resulting these indigenous with application untreated support possibility this being promising candidate couple generation minimal process adjustment.
