Removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater by two green microalgae (Chlorella
vulgaris and Scenedesmus rubescens) was investigated using a novel method of algal cell …

Two species of the green freshwater microalga Scenedesmus have been immobilized in
beads of κ-carrageenan. Growth curves were similar to those observed with free cells. The …

Hyperconcentrated microalgae 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 …

A unicellular green microalga, Chlorella vulgaris, entrapped in calcium alginate as algal
beads were employed to remove nutrients (N and P) from simulated settled domestic …

Immobilized cells entrapped within a polymer matrix or attached onto the surface of a solid
support have advantages over their free-cell counterpart, with easier harvesting of the …

The effluents from wastewater contain nutrients (NH+ 4, NO− 3 and PO− 3 4) which have
been identified as the main causes leading to eutrophication in natural waters. Therefore …

Two species of microalgae growing as immobilized and free-cells were compared to test its
ability to remove N and P in batch cultures of urban wastewater. The best microalgae-cell …

Some research has been done dealing with the immobilization of microalgae for different
purposes: morphology studies, the production of fine chemicals, energy production …

This presentation comprises a review on the use of immobilized algae for wastewater
nitrogen, phosphorus and metal removal purposes. Details of the use of immobilized algae …
