Potential Role of Spirogyra sp. and Chlorella sp. in Bioremediation of Mine Drainage: A Review

One of the biggest global challenges in mining industry is managing risks associated with contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) resulting from their activity. The oxidation sulfides main cause polluted mine drainage through leaching PTEs waste and galleries to water systems. Mine can be highly acidic often has a high concentration PTEs, particularly arsenic, one environment’s most elements. endanger ecosystem’s equilibrium raise worries about human animal health. Some species algae which naturally present waters, such as Spirogyra sp. And Chlorella sp., have capacity for absorbing wastewater may thrive harsh environments. As result, algal-based systems bioremediation were studied carefully analyzed, since remove heavy metals hazardous contaminants already been shown previous studies. Biofuels derived microalgal biomasses are viable alternative fossil fuels that lead circular bioeconomy. This study reviews analyses Chlorophyta-based application waters focusing on they serve model better understand bioremediation.
