Microalgae based wastewater treatment for the removal of emerging contaminants: a review of challenges and opportunities
Open accessAbstract
Emerging contaminants (ECs) are attracting considerable attention due to their potential risk to human health and ecosystem. The past decade has seen a renewed importance in microalgae for bioremediating ECs from wastewater. Several proof of concept studies have been published to rationalize the use of microalgae for bioremediating ECs at laboratory conditions. However, there has been little discussion on real world application of microalgae for bioremediation purposes. This review paper sheds new light on obstacles faced in commercial use of microalgae for bioremediating ECs. The presence of multiple ECs and their affinity for microalgae raise some concern about the validity of laboratory findings. Dynamic changes of environmental conditions and accidental contaminations can significantly influence rate of bioremediation in large scale system. Appropriate pilot scale studies may bridge the gap between the laboratory scale studies and commercial scale applications. Considering the fate of ECs in microalgal cell, more research is needed in the direction of biodegradation assisted bioremediation due to end use of algal biomass. In fact, a wide range of extremophile microalgae species can be screened for selective removal of ECs. In-depth investigations are needed to characterize the quality of wastewater effluent after the separation of microalgal biomass. Notably, life cycle analysis related studies are needed to look at the viability of microalgae assisted bioremediation of ECs.

Implementing microalgae to treat wastewater faces challenges including harvesting the biomass to recover molecules synthesized by microalgae and the potential presence of toxic compounds such as antibiotics when microalgae are cultured in livestock wastewater.
“Implementing microalgae to treat WW still faces several challenges, including harvesting the biomass to recover molecules synthesized by microalgae and the potential presence of toxic compounds when microalgae are cultured in livestock WW, such as antibiotics [165,166].”

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.
