Auto-flocculation microalgae species Tribonema sp. and Synechocystis sp. with T-IPL pretreatment to improve swine wastewater nutrient removal
Abstract
It is recognized coupling microalgae, which is rich in lipids or protein with wastewater treatment offers extra economic benefits that can potentially make microalgal production feasible by reducing production costs and providing environmental benefits. However, the pretreatment of high concentration nutrients such as ammonia nitrogen (NH 3-N), total phosphorus (TP) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in swine wastewater is the premise of application for microalgae in wastewater treatment. This study two auto-flocculation microalgae Tribonema sp. and Synechocystis sp. were selected for evaluation; they were cultivated in diluted swine wastewater together after it was pretreated with titanium dioxide (TiO 2) plus intense pulsed light (T-IPL). The results showed that the growth of the two strains in the wastewater pretreated with T-IPL grew better than when grown without the pretreatment. The content of lipid in the two algae, cultured in the pretreated wastewater, was also higher than the lipid content from the un-pretreated wastewater; but protein content was lower. Overall, the removal efficiencies of pollutants NH 3-N, TP, and COD by the two microalgae in anaerobic digestion of swine wastewater (ADSW) with T-IPL pretreatment, were higher than the removal efficiencies without pretreatment. This research also indicates that these two auto-flocculation microalgae have the potential to reduce harvesting costs. And, using T-IPL to pretreat wastewater could provide a promising method for the pretreatment of wastewater.

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.
