Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different carbon sources affect the growth and flocculation of microalgae, revealing that organic sources boost extracellular protein levels.
- Microalgae grown with sodium acetate produced excessive extracellular proteins, hindering the effectiveness of flocculants and resulting in flocculation efficiency below 50%.
- These results highlight the complex interactions between carbon sources and flocculation processes, suggesting potential improvements for microalgae wastewater treatment and harvesting strategies.
As one of the large dosages of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs), acetaminophen is widely present in the water environment and presents potential environmental risks. Therefore, it is necessary to study the removal mechanism of acetaminophen from the environment. Based on the high-value conversion demand of agricultural straw resources in China, straw-derived biochar prepared by pyrolysis has a good application prospect for the sorption and purification of acetaminophen in water.
