1.2.2.1.4. Microalgae treatment process
Traditional wastewater treatment systems are generally costly, energy-intensive and often still
unable to solve all the challenges posed by the wastewater they produce, which is why
researchers have been looking for alternative solutions.
The ability of microalgae to thrive in nutrient-rich waters by utilizing organic and inorganic
carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus while simultaneously accumulating biomass and reducing N,
p and The chemical oxygen demand and removing heavy metals in wastewater has made them
