Microalgae in Bioremediation of Waste water and Production of Bioproducts
Abstract: Domestic wastewater treatment and remediation is an exclusive practice due to substantial time and scheduling needed for fruitful management. Recent waste water treatment plants are extremely mechanical and costly to build and sustain. Maximum of the domestic waste water is considered feeble or average in strength with nitrogen levels between 20–40 mg/L and phosphorus levels between 4–8 mg/L[3]. These concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus are unwanted as they can lead …
