Microalgae Cultivation in Wastewater for Nutrient Removal
Wastewater is the spent or used water containing dissolved or suspended solids such as pollutants and microbes, including nutrients. The wastewater discharged into the water bodies are hazardous to environment and cause various health problems in human beings. Eutrophication is one such major environmental problem caused due to the discharge of nutrient rich wastewater into the nearby water bod...
متن کاملRemoval of nitrogen from wastewater using microalgae and microalgae–bacteria consortia
Exceeding nitrogen discharge into natural water bodies can lead to eutrophication in natural aquatic environments, as well as the decline in shellfish habitat and aquatic plant life. Currently, bacterial biological treatment process is the most common process employed in wastewater treatment plants, which requires extensive oxygen. The large demand for oxygen provided by mechanical aeration is ...
متن کاملIntercalibration exercise using a stickleback endocrine disrupter screening assay.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is currently validating a short-term fish screening protocol for endocrine disrupters (estrogens, androgens, and their antagonists and aromatase inhibitors), using three core species: fathead minnow, Japanese medaka, and zebrafish. The main endpoints proposed for the first phase of validation of the screen are vitellogenin (VTG) c...
متن کاملAssessment of Different Substrates for Removal of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds in Wastewater and the Potential Effects on Food Chain Pathways
Treating endocrine disrupting compounds (EDC’s) in domestic wastewater has become a major concern for the safety of human health and the environment. Human derived EDC’s, such as 17βestradiol are present in domestic wastewater effluent at levels high enough to jeopardize normal endocrine functions of aquatic organisms leading to decreased fecundity and feminization. In wastewater treatment faci...
متن کاملEfficacy of Microalgae on the Removal of Pollutants from Wastewater
Expansion of urban populations, increased coverage of domestic water supply and sewerage give rise to greater quantities of municipal wastewater. With the current emphasis on environmental health and water pollution issues, there is an increasing discharge of waste water in developing countries. Present technologies in developing countries for treating waste water are not sufficient and cost ef...
