“…Specialized treatment technologies exist for tannery wastewater. However, they have drawbacks like ineffective metal removal at low concentrations and high chemical consumption. Biotechnological approaches show promise, utilizing microorganisms for heavy metal remediation. Microalgae, particularly Spirulina , are gaining attention for their pollutant abatement capabilities. Spirulina’s integration into cleaner production and sustainability practices has gained traction, with studies highlighting its potential in wastewater treatment, carbon sequestration, and biofuel production. ,− Its rapid growth and high nutrient uptake efficiency make it effective for bioremediation. , Spirulina cultivation offers sustainable food and feed production, requiring minimal resources compared with conventional crops. Additionally, Spirulina -derived products contribute to a circular economy, promoting resource efficiency and waste valorization. The literature reports the kinetic model of Spirulina based on the ability to remove metal ions, nutrients, and specific growth rates. As per our knowledge, there is limited information on the growth model, which incorporates nutrient adsorption, light absorption, photosynthetic efficiency, respiration, and biosynthesis efficiency during synthetic or real wastewater cultivation.…”
