Microalgae-based bioremediation of refractory pollutants: an approach towards environmental sustainability

Microbial Cell Factories, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 24(1)

Published: Jan. 14, 2025

Abstract Extensive anthropogenic activity has led to the accumulation of organic and inorganic contaminants in diverse ecosystems, which presents significant challenges for environment its inhabitants. Utilizing microalgae as a bioremediation tool can present potential solution these challenges. Microalgae have gained attention promising biotechnological detoxifying environmental pollutants. This is due their advantages, such rapid growth rate, cost-effectiveness, high oil-rich biomass production, ease implementation. Moreover, microalgae-based remediation more environmentally sustainable not generating additional waste sludge, capturing atmospheric CO 2 , being efficient nutrient recycling algal production biofuels high-value-added products generation. Hence, achieve sustainability's three main pillars (environmental, economic, social). Microalgal mediate contaminated wastewater effectively through accumulation, adsorption, metabolism. These mechanisms enable reduce concentration heavy metals levels that are considered non-toxic. However, several factors, microalgal strain, cultivation technique, type pollutants, limit understanding removal mechanism efficiency. Furthermore, adopting novel technological advancements (e.g., nanotechnology) may serve viable approach address challenge refractory pollutants process sustainability. Therefore, this review discusses ability different species mitigate persistent industrial effluents, dyes, pesticides, pharmaceuticals. Also, paper provided insight into nanomaterials, nanoparticles, nanoparticle-based biosensors from immobilization on nanomaterials enhance open new avenue future advancing research regarding biodegradation

The unregulated discharge of synthetic dyes from various anthropogenic and industrial activities has resulted in the contamination different environmental compartments. These can contaminate water bodies, soil, even air, resulting many health issues. True colors may persist for long periods, thereby affecting aesthetics ecology dye-contaminated areas. Furthermore, they pose potential risks to aquatic life human through ingestion or absorption food. Acid orange 7 (AO7) is a azo dye used textile, tanning, food, pharmaceutical, paint, electronics, cosmetics, paper pulp industries. AO7 have implications, such as dermatitis, nausea, severe headache, respiratory tract irritation, bone marrow depletion, due its high toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity. Efforts regulate mitigate pollution are crucial sustainability public health. Therefore, this study aimed remove using sustainable biochar. This objective was accomplished by pyrolyzing dried Napier grass at 700 °C develop affordable biochar (NGBC700). developed characterized surface morphology, functional groups, area, elemental composition. yield, moisture content, ash content NGBC700 were approximately 31%, 6%, 21%, respectively.
