Bioplastics derived from polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are among the promising substitutes for unsustainable petroleum-based polymers. PHA-based polymers demonstrate superior chemical and physical properties, such as hydrophobicity, insolubility in water, iso-tacticity, UV resistance, hydrolysis absolute biodegradability. Compared with conventional plastics, bioplastics more beneficial due to their reduced carbon footprint, energy efficiency, biodegradability, biocompatibility, have hence revolutionized polymer industry. However, further research is needed explore novel strategies overcome limitations, decreasing water absorption brittleness, while increasing crystallization ability thermal degradation temperature. These constraints can be addressed by supplementing bioplastic synthesis process reinforcements plasticizers. The development adoption of biopolymers an environmentally friendly economically viable synthetic plastics imperative, considering degree subsequent exhaustion petrochemical supplies worldwide environmental contamination instigated industrial production plastics. goal this appraisal provide in-depth account most recent advancements generation various wastewater streams via use microalgae, harvesting technologies. microalgae higher quality made polymeric biomolecules include based on cellulose, starch, proteins, PHA, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), polyethylene (PE), polylactic acid (PLA), poly vinyl chloride (PVC).

A complex evaluation of antimicrobial activities microalgae, including those relevant to wastewater treatment (WWT), in light the integrated biorefinery concept, is performed. An example this concept linking a commercial microalgal system plants, factories, or farms that emit polluted (WW). The microalgae would not only metabolize pollutants—such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)—from WW, thus fueling their biomass, but they exert an antibacterial effect against pathogenic bacteria there. biomass then could be harvested used for biofertilizers, biofuels, bioplastics might possibly utilized animal feed, other pharmaceutical agents. large amount research on activity WWT potential focuses families Chlorellaceae Scenedesmaceae, which are also some most commercially strains microalgae. For reason, species chosen current review. Furthermore, increasing resistance necessitates search antibiotic alternatives, antifungal Scenedesmaceae very promising. Microalgae rich compounds like polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), polysaccharides, carotenoids, proteins, etc., extracts possess effects. vitro has varied broad range from low strong no effect.

Abstract Carbon black (CB) as rubber reinforcement has raised environmental concerns regarding this traditional petroleum-based filler, which is less susceptible to biodegradability. Although it great reinforcing properties, the production technique no longer sustainable, and its cost increases regularly. For these reasons, wise look for sustainable replacement materials. Microalgal biomass (MB) demonstrated potential use biodegradable nano fillers in composites. a high productivity compared crops. They can produce large amount of per unit land area, making them highly efficient terms resource utilization. In present research, microalgal was blended with CB at different concentrations preparing two kinds composites: Nitrile Acrylonitrile-butadiene (NBR) styrene-butadiene (SBR) are common synthetic rubbers. study, researchers investigated using filler assessed filler-matrix interaction by evaluating processability, mechanical characteristics, Payne effect, swelling properties MB/CB-filled composites CB-filled The results show that incorporating dual (microalgal carbon black) had faster cure times, increased torque, improved properties. prove helps minimize bulk quantities may be used partial while still improving According successfully replace up 50% filler. This will reduce petroleum dependence possibly costs, depending on current prices.
