Phycoremediation of Synthetic Dyes Laden Textile Wastewater and Recovery of Bio-Based Pigments from Residual Biomass: An Approach towards Sustainable Wastewater Management

The textile industry is a growing sector worldwide and has immense opportunity in terms of providing employment boosting nation’s economy. However, there exist severe environmental risks associated with effluents that impact the surrounding ecosystem. This review offers an approach for sustainable water management using phycoremediation to treat dye-laden wastewater recover bio-based pigments from residual biomass. Microalgae such as Chlorella, Scenedesmus, Phormidium, macroalgae like Sargassum, Enteromorpha, Codium been extensively used several phycoremediation-based studies, their biomass could be potent source extraction pigments. also recommends studies involving algal-bacterial consortia treating alternative conventional, biobased methods. outcome this study will provide policymakers researchers new insight manage resources sustainably. Furthermore, enhances our understanding nature-based decontamination approaches through algal-based technologies.
