Abstract
The present study lays an emphasis on the microalgae-based for simultaneous wastewater bioremediation using Chlorella vulgaris and Micrococcus luteus mixed algal cultures to remove its constituent pollutants, amazing green technology guarantees benefits with the decrease in the formation of dangerous solid sludge. Ten days of fully monitoring laboratory experimental program were performed in batch cultures to investigate the effect of various dominant mixing ratios for attaining wastewater concentrations and different governing temperature ranges on the performance of microalgae treatment. The results revealed that there is a significant impact of both wastewater concentrations and temperature treatment conditions on the capability of microalgae pollutants removal efficiencies, where the highest achieved bio-removal efficiency during the experimental period was 93%, 91%, 87%, and 82% for ammonium nitrogen, phosphorus, biochemical oxygen demand, and chemical oxygen demand respectively using the lowest experiment’s mixing ratio at temperature 3O°C during the experimental period.
In addition, the remarkable achieved efficiency of Chlorella vulgaris and Micrococcus luteus microalgae in wastewater bioremediation, focally insights into the importance of microalgae future practical application improvement as one of the most promising eco-environmental green technology for wastewater treatment.
Keywords- wastewater, pollution, eco-environmental, microalgae, green technology.
