Removal of nutrients from domestic wastewater by microalgae coupled to lipid augmentation for biodiesel production and influence of deoiled algal biomass as biofertilizer for Solanum lycopersicum cultivation
Open accessAbstract
In this study, Chlorella sp., Scenedesmus sp., and their consortium were used for the biorefinery approach. The algal consortium (Chlorella sp. + Scenedesmus sp.) grown well in 75% diluted wastewater, and obtained the highest biomass (1.78 g L-1), chlorophyll (27.03 μg mL-1), protein (175 μg mL-1) and lipid content (34.83% dry cell weight). Algal consortium showed mainly 51.75% of palmitic acid and 35.45% of oleic acid in the lipids. The removal of nitrate, ammonium, phosphate, chemical oxygen demand, total organic carbon and total nitrogen in 75% diluted wastewater by algal consortium were 96%, 98%, 95%, 83%, 86% and 94%, respectively. Moreover, deoiled algal biomass (DAB) waste used as a biofertilizer combined with inorganic fertilizer resulted in the grater improvement of Solanum lycopersicum shoot length (44%), root length (89%), fresh weight (95%), dry weight (53%), macro and micro-nutrients (N 61%, P 179%, K 71%, Ca 38%, Mg 26% and Fe 11%), and tomato yield (174%) as compared to control treatment. Our results indicate that the use of consortium is not only a potential bioresource for wastewater treatment and biodiesel production but also the DAB waste is an effective biofertilizer for sustainable agriculture production.

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.
