A Review of the Purification Effect of Microalgae on Pollutants in Food Processing Wastewater
The food industry,as one of the three major industrial water consumption sectors in China,has seen a continuous increase in water usage,driven by the rapid economic development of the country.The treatment process of food processing wastewater based on microalgae has broad development prospects as a green,environmentally friendly,energy-saving and carbon reducing treatment method.This article summarizes the current research status of microalgae on high nitrogen and phosphorus food wastewater and high salt food wastewater,and elaborates on the pollutant removal efficiency,biomass accumulation,and pollutant removal mechanism.The main factors affecting the growth of microalgae and the removal efficiency of pollutants in wastewater were introduced.A brief introduction was made on the ways and benefits of comprehensive utilization of microalgae biomass.In order to provide reference for the industrial promotion of microalgae treatment of food processing wastewater.
