Efficiency of immobilized hyperconcentrated algae for ammonium and orthophosphate removal from wastewaters

Hyperconcentrated microalgae (Scenedesmus quadricauda ) cultures (up to 3,29 g dry weight/L) were immobilized in kappa-carrageenan beads. It appears that entrapped algae are able to remove efficiently nitrogen and phosphorus from urban secondary effluent and then perform a tertiary wastewater treatm...

Summary:Hyperconcentrated microalgae (Scenedesmus quadricauda ) cultures (up to 3,29 g dry weight/L) were immobilized in kappa-carrageenan beads. It appears that entrapped algae are able to remove efficiently nitrogen and phosphorus from urban secondary effluent and then perform a tertiary wastewater treatment.
