The promising way to treat wastewater by microalgae: Approaches, mechanisms, applications and challenges

Reconstruction of a Genome-Scale Metabolic Model of Scenedesmus obliquus and Its Application for Lipid Production under Three Trophic Modes

“…11,12 Microalgae, such as Chlamydomonas sp., Chlorella sp., Nannochloropsis sp., Neochloris sp., Scenedesmus sp., etc., are majorly investigated for their applications in biofuel production, effective bioremediation of industrial wastes, aquaculture effluents, etc. 13,14 Among the different renewable biofuels, biodiesel from microalgae is considered to have the potential to replace petroleum-derived transportation fuels. 15 Biodiesel is obtained from lipids extracted from algal biomass through transesterification reactions.…”

“…Furthermore, the ease of cultivating microalgae using any type of water instead of arable lands and without any seasonal breaks makes them one of the most preferred feedstocks for biofuel production. ,− Microalgal growth utilizing wastewater and flue gases provides additional advantages of bioremediation. Subsequently, deoiled microalgal biomass may produce several value-added biocommodities and industrially important compounds such as bio-oil, biochar, biofertilizer, etc. , Hence, microalgae-based biofuels have emerged as a nationwide interest owing to their multifaceted contributions toward a greener and cleaner environment. , Microalgae, such as Chlamydomonas sp., Chlorella sp., Nannochloropsis sp ., Neochloris sp ., Scenedesmus sp., etc., are majorly investigated for their applications in biofuel production, effective bioremediation of industrial wastes, aquaculture effluents, etc. , …”

Sequential use of Microalgae and Constructed Wetlands and its potential to remove organic load, toxicity and pharmaceuticals from urban wastewaters

“…A con guration that has received scienti c attention over the last years is the sequential use of CW and Microalgae (MA) (Silveira et al, 2020). MA are classi ed as a group of tiny microscopic algae that have been used in the treatment of several kind of wastewaters, including domestic, industrial, dairy, food, brewing and pharmaceutical wastewaters (Song et al, 2022) So, the present study aimed at to implement and investigate the performance of a combined system composed of sequential MA and CW with Vertical Flow-French type system (VFCW-FS), aiming at to remove nitrogen, organic load, ecotoxicity and PACs from wastewaters generated at a university campus.…”

Ternary heterogeneous Z-scheme photocatalyst TiO2/CuInS2/OCN incorporated with carbon quantum dots (CQDs) for enhanced photocatalytic degradation efficiency of reactive yellow 145 dye in water

“…1 A significant contributor to this crisis is the improper treatment or release of wastewater from the textile industry. 2–4 Around 2 80 000 tons of dye are used each year, with 10–15% ending up in waste water. 5 RY145 dye, which is resistant to natural decomposition, is of particular concern.…”
