Phycoremediation of sewage wastewater and industrial flue gases for biomass generation from microalgae

Utilization of Microalgae for Integrated Biomass Production and Phycoremediation of Wastewater

Increasing population and Industrialization are key pollutant contributors in water bodies. These wastes are highly hazardous for humansand ecosystem and require a comprehensive, effective treatment before discharge into water bodies. Over the years, many up gradations have been introduced in traditional water treatment methods which were expensive and ineffective especially for removal of heav...

Algal Biomass from Wastewater and Flue Gases as a Source of Bioenergy

Algae are without doubt the most productive photosynthetic organisms on Earth; they are highly efficient in converting CO2 and nutrients into biomass. These abilities can be exploited by culturing microalgae from wastewater and flue gases for effective wastewater reclamation. Algae are known to remove nitrogen and phosphorus as well as several organic contaminants including pharmaceuticals from...

Bioremediation of Sewage Wastewater Using Selective Algae for Manure Production

Phycoremediation is the process of employing algae for removing excess nutrient load from wastewater and subsequently diminish the pollution load. It is an alternative technology of treating sewage wastewater compare to conventional treatment process in economical and sustainable way. Therefore, in the present investigation we had made an effort to phycoremediate the IARI’s sewage wastewater wi...

Potential Production of Biofuel from Microalgae Biomass Produced in Wastewater

Experimental Studies of CO2 Capturing from the Flue Gases

CO2 emissions from combustion flue gases have turned into a major factor in global warming. Post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) from industrial utility flue gases by reactive absorption can substantially reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. To test a new solvent (AIT600) for this purpose, a small pilot plant was used. This paper presents the results of studies ...
