  • Wastewater cultivated macroalgae as a bio-resource in agriculture
    Berden Zrimec, Maja ...
    Algae cultivation in the wastewater as bioremediation technique and production of the biomass for various products is an innovative industrial ecology model. On one hand, algae recover from the ... wastewater nutrients, organic carbon and minerals that would otherwise be lost. On the other hand, wastewater enables the large-scale production without using large volumes of quality water and commercial growth media. Macroalgae provide an interesting opportunity for multiple industries due to their ability to grow in a range of waste substrates and the suitability of resultant biomass for a variety of applications. In comparison to microalgae, they have an advantage of lower separation and dry mass preparation costs. This chapter will review the wastewater treatment by macroalgae and their high effectiveness in recovering nutrients, their cultivation in the wastewater for various products, focusing on the agricultural use.
