Phycoremediation is the process of employing algae for removing excess nutrient load from wastewater and subsequently diminish the pollution load. It is an alternative technology of treating sewage wastewater compare to conventional treatment process in economical and sustainable way. Therefore, in the present investigation we had made an effort to phycoremediate the IARI’s sewage wastewater wi...

Textile wastewater discharge is one of the big aquatic pollution problem in Indonesia. Although treatment had been applied to reduce the concentration of pollutants, the textile wastewater discharge often still keep the concentration of pollutant that is above the limit for the usage of the river water. Phycoremediation, the use of microalgae to clean up the wastewater, had been developed and a...

What is special about micro-algae? The green-cell factories of microalgae tackle simultaneously more than one problem, a solution not capable by conventional chemical processes. That is, for example, problems such as pH correction, sludge removal, TDS reduction, BOD and COD removal, etc. can be handled simultaneously by micro-algal treatment (phycoremediation), whereas in conventional methods, ...

Microalgae have been utilized in wastewater treatment strategies in various contexts. Uncontrolled algal species are a cheap and effective remediation strategy. This study investigates the thermochemical potential of wastewater treatment algae (phycoremediation) as a means to produce renewable fuel streams and bio-products. Three gasification temperature levels were investigated in an auger gas...

Abstract Algal biomass has been gaining attention over the last decades as it is versatile and can be used in different industries, such wastewater treatment bioenergy industries. Microalgae are mixotrophic microorganisms that have potential to utilize nitrogen phosphate (nutrients) remove organic matters from streams. Phycoremediation an intriguing cost-efficient technique simultaneously heavy...

Substantial progress has been made in algal technologies in past few decades. Initially, microalgae drew the attention of the scientific community as a renewable source of biofuels due to its high productivity over a short period of time and potential of significant lipid accumulation. As of now, a technological upsurge has elaborated its scope in phycoremediation of both organic and inorganic ...

Rapid industrialization leads to serious environmental hazards due the increase in release of pollutants into environment. Industries that use synthetic dyes for different applications are a predominant source dye contaminants by releasing wastewater with pretreatment or without treatment directly water bodies, making pollution Therefore, it is imperative safeguard environment from such and the...

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 f...
