Decolorisation of piggery wastewater to stimulate the production of Arthrospira platensis KU Leuven
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of color removal methods for enhancing the growth rate and biomass yield of Arthrospira produced using piggery wastewater as a nutrient source. Color could be removed from the piggery wastewater by means of oxidation (H2O2–UV) or by means of positively charged flocculants (e.g., ferric chloride, magnesium hydroxide), biopolymers (chitosan, cationic starch) or adsorbents (hydrotalcite).
