Phycoremediation of Tannery Wastewater Using MicroalgaeScenedesmusSpecies

Abstract: A number of microalgae species are efficient in removing toxicants from wastewater. Many of these potential species are a promising, eco-friendly, and sustainable option for tertiary wastewater treatment with a possible advantage of improving the economics of microalgae cultivation for biofuel production. The present study deals with the phycoremediation of tannery wastewater (TWW) using Scenedesmus sp. isolated from a local habitat. The test species was grown in TWW under laboratory conditions and harvested o… Show more

“…The nitrate and phosphorus content reduced from 49 to 21.7 mg/L and 3.90 to 0.10 mg/L, respectively. On the other hand, chromium, copper, lead, and zinc reduced by about 50% after phycoremediation (Ajayan et al 2016).…”

“…The major requirement in wastewater treatment is the removal of nutrients which would reduce microbial loads in the wastewater to acceptable limits prior to discharge and reuse (Al-Gheethi et al 2013). Ajayan et al (2016) studied the phycoremediation of wastewater by Scenedesmus sp. and the composition of wastewater was found to have improved in terms of colour, TDS, TS, BOD, COD, and DO ( Table 2).…”

“…Las especies fueron cultivadas en diferentes tratamientos de aguas residuales, y se obtuvo así crecimiento de las diferentes especies en cada una de ellos. A nivel industrial, las microalgas han sido utilizadas para el tratamiento de aguas residuales de curtiembres [11], generación de alfombras [12], producción de aceite de olivas [13], entre otros, lo que ha logrado remociones de metales pesados, nutrientes inorgánicos, entre otros compuestos contaminantes. Todos estos trabajos demuestran la factibilidad de usar efluentes domésticos o industriales como sustratos alternativos para la generación de biomasa microalgal logrando alternamente mejorar las condiciones de estas aguas.…”

“…De igual forma, Lei et al [30] mostraron la remoción de Fluoranteno y Pireno por células de los géneros Chlorella y Scendesmus. Por otro lado, se ha reportado la remoción de metales pesados como el cromo [11,31], mercurio [32], cobre [31], cadmio [33], entre otros; todos habituales componentes de las aguas residuales industriales.…”
