Nutrient removal and biomass production by immobilized chlorella vulgaris
Issue Date
9-2019
Abstract
Immobilized cells of Chlorella vulgaris in alginate–chitosan matrix achieved faster growth rates and produced more biomass than their free cell counterpart in synthetic aquaculture wastewater. Higher (89.8%) nitrate-N removal was achieved by immobilized cells than by the free cells (45.9%). Phosphate-P removal was both high at 98.9 and 99.5% by immobilized and free cells, respectively. The alginate–chitosan matrix was found suitable for growth, nutrient removal, and biomass production in synthetic aquaculture wastewater.
