Abstract

Wastewater treatment using microalgae possesses numerous benefits when compared to the conventional treatment. Apart from a significant reduction in expenses of purification of wastewater, it also decreases costs of microalgae production. In addition, there are additional benefits of using microalgae in wastewater treatment such as: reduction in toxic solid sludge formation; reduction of greenhouse gases; reduction of necessity for forced aeration because the oxygen required for aerobic bacteria is provided by the microalgae photosynthesis; production of microalgae biomass, which is a great source of energy due to the process of absorbing nutrients present in the wastewater [1-3]. Microalgae represent a source of significant components such as proteins, sugars, lipids, pigments (carotenoids and chlorophylls), and antioxidant components. Therefore, the obtained biomass, depending on its chemical composition and quality, can be used in different fields.
