Algal biofilm based technology for wastewater treatment
Maureen Kesaano,Ronald C. Sims +1 more
TL;DR: A critical review of the performance and processes involved with algal biofilm-based systems in wastewater treatment is presented in this paper, which identifies the need for research on factors that affect algal growth, mass transport, species selection, algal-bacterial interactions, and validation of laboratory research in field scale tests for the development of an algal Biofilm based technology platform for integrating wastewater treatment and biomass production.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel algal biofilm membrane photobioreactor for attached microalgae growth and nutrients removal from secondary effluent.
TL;DR: BMPBR showed better nitrogen removal performance than MPBR due to its higher algal biomass productivity and with the filtration effect of the submerged membrane module in the reactor, suspended microalgae could be completely isolated from the effluent.
