Capabilities and Mechanisms of Microalgae on Removing Micropollutants from Wastewater: A Review
Abstract
Micropollutants in wastewater are a set of compounds receiving a growing concern to the environment and human health. As a green and low-cost process, microalgae-based systems (MBSs) have already been demonstrated the ability of micropollutant removal. In the present review, 114 micropollutants and 16 microalgae species in total are summarized and analyzed to present an overview capability of the MBSs. The analysis shows that MBSs can eradicate most of the included micropollutants with 94 compounds (82% of total) being removed by ≥ 50%. Regarding the reliability of removal efficiency, those from hormone active substances, macrolides, and cephalosporins are consistently removed at a high level (≥80%). Herein, biodegradation is the predominant removal pathway for most micropollutants, particularly, bearing electron-donating groups. Besides, the large family of microalgae species and unique phototrophic ability enables broad ecological niches and extra abilities over activated sludge systems to remove some recalcitrant micropollutants, e.g. pesticides. In the future study, optimization on the reactor configuration and operation parameters is expected to improve the stability of MBSs before extrapolating to full-scale deployment.

Microalgae-based wastewater systems are a low-cost process with two key benefits: purifying wastewater and simultaneous biomass harvesting.
“It should also be noted that microalgae-based wastewater systems differ from the conventional wastewater treatment processes since these systems are a low-cost process with two key benefits: (1) purifying wastewater and (2) simultaneous biomass harvesting [214].”

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.
