First application of different <em>Chlorella</em> sp. microalgal strains for the treatment of vegetation waters derived from unconventional oil extractions enriched with citrus byproducts
Abstract:The Mediterranean diet has among its cornerstones the use of olive oil for its nutraceutical and organoleptic properties. Despite the numerous merits, olive-oil mill wastewater (OMWW), which is generated by the olive-oil extraction process, is one of the most serious environmental pollutants in the Mediterranean countries.
