Recent advancements in microalgal-induced remediation of wastewaters
Abstract
Abstract Rapid urbanization and industrialization urged scientific communities to address several environmental concerns as the wastes from cities, towns, and industries are poured into the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems without treatment. Aquatic ecosystems are more prone to these environmental hazards as ultimately almost all the pollutants gain entry into the natural water bodies. Although several physical, chemical, and biological methods have been proposed for the bioremediation of aquatic pollutants, all these methods have certain advantages as well as disadvantages. The conventional chemical methods used for the decontamination of wastewaters are either less effective or very expensive. Nowadays, the use of microalgae is being practised to treat the wastewaters safely. The exploited use of microalgae for the remediation of wastewaters is advantageous over other wastewater decontamination techniques due to their high surface to volume ratio, high removal capability toward toxic pollutants, higher biosorption capacity, adaptability to different environments, and cost-effectiveness. This chapter focuses on the sustainable utility of various microalgal species for the remediation of toxic metal ions, cyanides, hydrocarbons, pesticide residues, endocrinal disruptors, inorganic nutrients and reduction of BOD and COD from wastewaters.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
