Literature Analysis on Pollutant Removal Using Microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris) in Different Wastewater Treatment
In today's world, wastewater is a common body of water that can be found almost anywhere. It can be found in textile mill effluent, factories, palm oil mill effluent, homes, and even restaurants. As the world's population and industrialization expand, so does the amount of wastewater produce. The contents of wastewater may cause unwelcome algae blooms, eutrophication, and contamination of water sources, posing a risk to the health of humans and aquatic animals. Chlorella vulgaris is a sustainable and cost-effective method for removing contaminants from wastewater, including nutrients [total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP)], organic matter [biological oxygen demand (BOD), and chemical oxygen demand (COD)]. It has been discovered that it can withstand a wide range of environmental conditions, including temperature, photoperiod, and pH, making it the most promising candidate for removing the pollutant from wastewater. The findings showed that C. vulgaris effectively removes contaminants, with the majority of them eliminating more than 60% of them under various growing conditions and operations. The results demonstrated that microalgae-based wastewater treatment using the microalgae C. vulgaris can be used in conjunction with traditional wastewater treatment or innovative sustainable technologies to improve water quality. The goal of this review study is to identify and investigate the factors that influence C. vulgaris growth rate and efficiency in removing contaminants from wastewater.
