Phycoremediation of Tannery Wastewater Using Microalgae Scenedesmus Species.

A number of microalgae species are efficient in removing toxicants from wastewater. Many of these potential species are a promising, eco-friendly, and sustainable option for tertiary wastewater treatment with a possible advantage of improving the economics of microalgae cultivation for biofuel production. The present study deals with the phycoremediation of tannery wastewater (TWW) using Scenedesmus sp.

Reflector based chlorophyll production by Spirulina platensis through energy save mode.

The present study suggests that the effect of silver coated polyester film fixed in culture racks serves as a reflector of light intensity on Spirulina platensis cultivation, using of KNO(3) and urea as nitrogen sources. The use of light reflector (LR) gave light intensity of 4.8-6.
