Article Synopsis
- The microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana were tested for their ability to treat winery wastewater, focusing on growth and pollutant removal under various conditions like media acclimatization and ammonium nitrogen addition.
- Batch experiments showed that acclimatizing the algae to urban wastewater significantly improved the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus, while a two-stage sequencing batch reactor system achieved over 85% chemical oxygen demand (COD) and nitrogen removal.
- The biomass produced contained high levels of proteins and beneficial pigments, indicating that this process not only cleansed the wastewater but also created valuable ingredients for industries like food, cosmetics, and animal feed.
